Widespread Zika virus transmission in the Region of the Americas has heightened 

the urgency of preparing for the possibility of expansion of mosquito-borne transmission 

of Zika virus during the 2016 mosquito season. On April 1, 2016, CDC is holding a

state and local jurisdictions most likely to face mosquito-borne transmission of Zika 

virus in the coming months.
