Zika and Mosquito-borne Viruses
Guest Speaker: The CDC?s Dave Daigle is just back from Joao Pessoa, Brazil where he worked with the Brazilian Ministry of Health, state and local public health organizations to conduct a case control investigation on the association of Zika virus with microcephaly. Results from that study are expected in April. Last year, Daigle deployed to Hawaii with a CDC team to respond to Dengue, which has since became a public health emergency in that state. Daigle also deployed to Lagos, Nigeria; Dallas, Texas; New York City, NY; and Sierra Leone to respond for Ebola. Daigle is the Associate Director for Communication Science in the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
