Zika Virus

Transmission of the mosquito-borne Zika virus has become established in Mexico, the Caribbean and several countries in South and Central America. At this time, Texas has reported a very small number of imported cases, including here in Tarrant County.

TCPH continues to monitor and has also established a Zika Hotline: 817-321-4709.

Arbovirus infections, including those caused by Zika virus, are reportable to TCPH at 817-321-5350.

Arborvirus Surveillance Reports, along with other related information, can be found on our Mosquito-borne Illness Season webpage.
