Resumen
To determine the extent of exposure to Zika virus
(ZIKV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in Jamaica,
we collected serum from 584 pregnant women during
2017–2019. We found that 15.6% had antibodies
against ZIKV and 83.6% against CHIKV. These results
indicate potential recirculation of ZIKV but not CHIKV
in the near future.
