Abstract
The Annual Report on Epidemiological Alerts and Updates is a compendium of alerts issued during the year on events relevant to international public health in the Region of the Americas. In 2016, the spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) in the Americas was the public health event that demanded the greatest amount of surveillance and control resources from the Pan American Health Organization / World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), given its function as the Americas Regional Contact Point under the International Health Regulations (IHR). Between January and December 2016, PAHO/WHO published 35 epidemiological updates on the autochthonous transmission of ZIKV and its complications in countries and territories of the Region. Between 17 February and 14 July, updates on Zika were issued weekly (21 updates). Since then and up to 29 December, 12 biweekly updates were published.
 
El anuario de las Alertas y Actualizaciones Epidemiológicas es un compendio de las alertas emitidas durante el año en relación a los eventos relevantes para la salud pública internacional de la Región de las Américas. Durante el 2016, la propagación del virus de Zika en las Américas fue el evento de salud pública que exigió mayores recursos de vigilancia y control por parte de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud/Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS), en su función de punto de contacto Regional para el Reglamento Sanitario Internacional (RSI). Entre enero y diciembre de 2016, la OPS/OMS publicó 35 actualizaciones epidemiológicas referentes a la transmisión autóctona del virus de Zika (ZIKV) y sus complicaciones en países de las Américas. Entre el 17 de febrero y el 14 de julio, las actualizaciones fueron emitidas en forma semanal (21 actualizaciones). A partir de esa fecha y hasta el 29 de diciembre, se publicaron 12 actualizaciones quincenales.
