چکیده
Colombia: An Israeli family of four: 37 years old male, 31 years old female and two daughters aged 8 and 2 years, all previously healthy, had traveled to Colombia for seventeen days during December 2015. Their trip included, in addition to Bogota and Subachoque (elevation 2600 m), 5 days in Girardot: a low-lying city in central Colombia (elevation 326 m). After returning to Bogota, all four had sequentially become ill with symptoms suggestive of ZIKV infection, which was laboratory-confirmed in three after their return. The virus was sequenced in one of the family members (Table).
