HIDA has set up an information clearinghouse on the Zika virus for supply chain news and resources of particular interest to distributors, manufacturers and other industry stakeholders.
The Zika virus, primarily spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, has been linked to birth defects and other health problems. The White House asked Congress for more than $1.8 billion in emergency funding to prepare for and respond to the Zika virus, both domestically and internationally. Because of concerns that the virus may have spread more quickly in the southern US in warm weather, the HHS allocated funds using Ebola reserves and the CDC mobilized rapid-response strike teams.
