When Outbreaks Go Global: Migration and Public Health in a Time of Zika
This Migration Information Source article concentrates particularly on the public health-immigration nexus for the United States and Latin America in light of the Zika epidemic and the preponderance of migrants from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and other countries in the region who play a real and symbolic role in discussions of immigration policy today. The Zika epidemic demonstrates that the United States and Latin America have intertwined public-health destinies, and highlights the importance of multilateral institutions such as the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in coordinating public-health efforts across the region.
