I live in Hawaii and last week saw the first confirmed case of Zika virus in the United States in a child born with microcephaly on the Big Island. [1]

The mother had recently traveled to Brazil and thankfully neither her nor the baby are infectious -- but, living in the tropics, it seems to be only a matter of time until we see mosquitoes carrying Zika here.
