Application of the analytic hierarchy approach to the risk assessment of Zika virus disease transmission in Guangdong Province China

摘要

BackgroundAn international spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has attracted global attention in 2015. The infection also affected Guangdong province, which is located in southern China. Multiple factors, including frequent communication with South America and Southeast Asia, suitable climate (sub-tropical) for the habitat of Aedes species, may increase the risk of ZIKV disease transmission in this region.
