| Abstract | Attaran and colleagues in an open letter to WHO expressed their concern about the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic
Games in Rio de Janeiro and the threat posed by the Zika epidemic (Attaran 2016). We agree that Zika virus
is of great public health concern and much remains to be known about this disease. Care should be taken to reduce
the risk of infection, especially to pregnant women. However, we argue that this is not sufficient reason for changing
the original plans for the Games, in particular because of the time of the year when they will take place. The present
article outlines several scientific results related to Zika and mosquito-borne infectious diseases dynamics that we
believe ratify the current position of WHO in not endorsing the postponing or relocation of the 2016 Olympic and
Paralympic Games (WHO 2016). | pt_BR |
