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.
