Zika Spread Graphical Abstract

Caption

This graphical abstract shows the genomic epidemiology of Zika virus in Central America and Mexico. Following its likely introduction to Honduras in 2014, the virus spread undetected in the region. Genetic and epidemiological data indicate that biannual transmission peaks occurred, and could potentially be explained by local variation in mosquito abundance.
