With the threat posed by the spread of the Zika virus, many governments have scrambled to expand their public health efforts to prevent and contain this biological threat. For Taiwan, the island’s tropical climate makes this a pressing situation. In the past, Taiwan has long grappled with containing outbreaks of Dengue. Unfortunately, the Zika virus is also spread by the bites of the Aedes mosquito. This has been a point of concern for many Taiwanese health authorities since southern Taiwan has often struggled to manage large numbers of these mosquitos.
