Abstract
The ongoing Zika pandemic in Latin America illustrates a potential source for further globalized spread. Here, we assessed global travel-related Zika virus exportations from Brazil during the initial year of the epidemic. Similar to subsequent national notifications, we estimated 584–1786 exported Zika cases from Brazil occurred September 2014–August 2015.Keywords
