According to the Center for Disease Control, travel-associated cases of the Zika virus have been found in every <abbr title=\"United States\">U.S.<\/abbr> state except Alaska and Wyoming, and in every U.S. territory except Guam and American Samoa. Locally acquired cases have been found in only Florida, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. It is spread by the bite of an infected Aedes species of mosquito (<em>Aedes aegypti<\/em> and <em>Aedis albopictus<\/em>). With the impact of climate change there has been a growth in regions that support mosquito habitats worldwide, increasing the world&#8217;s vulnerability to mosquito-borne diseases.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are particularly concerned about Zika and other mosquito-borne diseases because of their potential impacts on vulnerable, at-risk populations,&rdquo; said <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.socialsciences.hawaii.edu\/profile\/index.cfm?email=karlk@hawaii.edu\">Karl Kim<\/a><\/strong>, professor of <a href=\"http:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/durp\/\">urban and regional planning<\/a> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/\">University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> at M&#257;noa<\/a> and executive director of the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center. &ldquo;We need to increase awareness of the disease but also work towards effective strategies for monitoring as well as combating Zika.
