For much of 2016, it was hard to look at the news without seeing a headline about Zika. Images of parents holding newborn children with microcephaly grabbed the world’s attention and spurred the World Health Organization to make a rare declaration of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (1). Despite widespread awareness of Zika and considerable will to contain its spread, data were scarce and initial predictions about Zika’s future were little more than conjectures loosely informed by historical statistics about the epidemiology of other diseases (2). A variety of issues continued to plague efforts to assess the threat posed by Zika, among them a high rate of asymptomatic infection, challenges associated with the interpretation of data on past exposure to Zika virus, and inconsistencies in case reporting (3). In PNAS, Zhang et al.(4) leverage the power of computational modeling to make the most of available data and offer new insights about what may have happened as Zika virus marched across the Americas.
