Abstract

To estimate the incidence of Zika infection in Israeli travelers who visited Thailand during 2016-2019, we extracted laboratory confirmed cases and used annual number of Israeli entries as Denominator. The risk for laboratory confirmed Zika in travelers was 0.97 per 100000 entries with an increased incidence during early 2019.
