New publication by @kcharniga et al. estimating attack rates for #Zika epidemic in Colombia and impact on neurological complications.
@epiverse
The overall estimated ZIKV infection attack rate across the 28 cities was 0.38 (95% CrI: 0.17–0.92). The estimated ZVD reporting rate was 0.013 (95% CrI: 0.004–0.024), and 0.51 (95% CrI: 0.17–0.92) cases of ZIKV-associated NC were estimated to be reported per 10 000 ZIKV infections.

Estimating Zika virus attack rates and risk of Zika virus-associated neurological complications in Colombian capital cities with a Bayesian model | Royal Society Open Science
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne pathogen that caused a major epidemic in the Americas in 2015–2017. Although the majority of ZIKV infections are asymptomatic, the virus has been associated with congenital birth defects and neurological complications ...
