A few cases have cropped up in people who have traveled and been infected outside the country, though no Indiana resident has yet tested positive for the virus, said Jennifer Brown, state public health veterinarian for the Indiana State Department of Health. The department oversees surveillance, infection and control of insect-borne diseases in people.
However, she adds, that just as Indiana residents have contracted other mosquito-borne diseases such as chikungunya and dengue fever abroad, some will likely come home with Zika.
“At this time I do expect we will see cases of Zika virus infection in Indiana residents who have traveled to these countries where this outbreak is occurring,” she said.
