A top HHS official will also discuss the federal response\, and our panel will address how state and local governments are addressing the issue. \nThe fight against the spread of the Zika virus has entered a new and domestically focused phase with the announcement by the Florida Department of Health that the disease is being carried by mosquitoes in at least one Miami neighborhood. Zika virus infections\, primarily spread through the bite of an Aedes aegypti mosquito\, can cause a serious birth defect during pregnancy called microcephaly. There is also a possible link between Zika and Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)\, as well as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). \nSpeakers: \n\n\nAnthony Fauci\, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases\, National Institutes of Health \n\n\nKelly Murphy\, health division program director\, National Governors Association \n\n\nLaMar Hasbrouck\, executive director\, National Association of County and City Health Officials \n\n\nAn official of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority\, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services\, will also take part. \n\n\nMarilyn Serafini of the Alliance for Health Reform and Rob Lott of Health Affairs will moderate the discussion. \nThis briefing is a collaboration of the Alliance for Health Reform\, Health Affairs and the Jayne Koskinas Ted Giovanis Foundation for Health and Policy. \nIf you would like to register for this briefing please contact Karl Eisenhower at keisenhower@allhealth.org or call (202) 789-2300.
