...Furthermore, occasional but consistent serologic and virologic evidence of ZIKV transmission in humans and mosquitoes from across Africa, India, and Southeast Asia spanning more than 60 years suggests that ZIKV has been persistently present throughout these regions (22) (Fig....

...Likewise, it is possible that small ZIKV epidemics, and even invasion into Southeast Asia in the mid-1900s, resulted in effects that were unnoticed against the backdrop of other infectious diseases, particularly because small population sizes (compared to Brazil) mean that excess microcephaly cases would likely be in the hundreds (or less) in any given country....

...In the decades after its discovery, intermittent serosurveys continued to find evidence of ZIKV infection in humans in Africa (27–29), the Indian subcontinent (30), and Southeast Asia (16, 31, 32)....

...Whether ZIKV will in fact spread throughout these areas is uncertain; similar viruses have failed to spread to or take hold in areas theoretically at risk (e.g., yellow fever in Southeast Asia) (110)....

...Kappa varies from −1 (predictions completely opposite to observations) through 0 (model fit no better than random) to 1 (perfect fit) and Landis and Koch (1977) suggest the following ranges of agreement for the kappa statistic: poor, κ<0.4; good, 0.4<κ<0.75 and excellent, κ>0.75....

...The thresholded versions of the maps were used to calculate the kappa index (κ) of model fit (Congalton, 1991; Ma and Redmond, 1995), which is based on the matrix of observed and predicted presences and absences of each model’s bootstrap sample of the training set data....
