Microcephaly CNS malformation cases linked to Zika virus by country 2017

This graph shows the number of microcephaly and/or CNS malformation cases potentially associated with Zika virus infection by country, territory or area, as of February 2017. Brazil had reported the most microcephaly and/or CNS malformation cases potentially linked with Zika virus infections with 2,366. All of these cases were linked to infections within Brazil. Although cases of the Zika virus had been on the rise since 2015, malaria still remained the most serious of the mosquito-borne diseases for at-risk populations worldwide.

Supplementary notes

* Countries including territories and areas. The statistic shows the number of microcephaly and/or CNS malformation cases suggestive of congenital infections or potentially associated with a Zika virus infection.
** US-CDC has modified the way information is displayed. To protect the privacy of the women and children affected by Zika, US-CDC is not reporting individual state, tribal, territorial or jurisdictional level data. The probable locations of three of the infections were Brazil (1 case), Haiti (1 case) and Mexico, Belize or Guatemala (1 case).
