Abstract

Zika virus outbreak was traced among international students in Thailand. Testing was prompted by a single symptomatic case, which revealed seropositivity in two students. These results highlight the potential risk of Zika and emphasize the importance of implementing preventive measures for those travelling to endemic regions such as Thailand.
