来自巴西里约热内卢市的最新数据显示，与前一个夏季相比，2016/2017年夏季报告的寨卡病毒病例数量急剧下降。女性的发病率仍然高于男性，几乎可以肯定是由于性传播。新数据的一个意想不到的特点是，影响15个月以下儿童的病例比例远远高于年龄较大的班级。通过比较2016/2017年和2015/2016年的发病率，我们能够推断出影响男性和女性的报告病例的比例，并验证性别差异仍然存在。即使在非流行季节，妇女和儿童仍然是寨卡病毒感染的危险群体。
Recent data from the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, shows a sharp drop in the number of reported occurrences of Zika during the summer of 2016/2017 compared to the previous summer. There is still a much higher incidence among women than men, almost certainly due to sexual transmission. An unexpected feature of the new data is that there are proportionally far more cases affecting children under 15 months than older age classes. By comparing incidence rates in 2016/2017 and 2015/2016, we were able to deduce the proportion of reported cases affecting men and women, and verify that gender disparity is still present. Women and children are still risk groups for Zika infection, even during non-epidemic seasons.
