Popis: Nine imported Zika virus (ZIKV) infections (four through temperature monitoring and epidemiological investigation at entry and five by active surveillance tracking of index case contacts during follow-up; from Venezuela [ n = 5], Samoa [ n = 3] and both Samoa and Fiji [ n = 1]) were detected in mainland China from February 1 to 29, 2016. The minimal incubation period lasted 5.2 days, with mean lag time to diagnosis of 2.6 days. Diagnosis relied on positive real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for ZIKV RNA in serum ( n = 7), urine ( n = 4) or saliva ( n = 3), respectively. All cases recovered rapidly without serious complications.
