Hm :/
Well, I can't do anything about epidemiological souces, except time travel
I guess :)
So, if others agree that this is a dead end, I'll downgrade it to a pet
project. Daniel, let me know if I can help still.
If this particular example isn't good, is there another specific case where
our data might help?

Dear all,
we're currently building a template for Zika-related articles (cf.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Zika ), and I could imagine
some of these - e.g. those on the earlier Zika outbreaks - may be
useful for training the models.
Cheers,
Daniel

Insufficient data in epidemiological sources.
Basically, we need fairly
decent time series incidence data over a few years in order to train the
models; this isn’t available for Zika, just case reports here and there.
The expert on our team is Ashlynn Daughton: “[T]here’s been a small
amount
of surveillance of Zika
(
http://www.eurosurveillance.org/images/dynamic/ET/V19N02/V19N02.pdf).
French polynesia and other islands had an outbreak in 2013 and it sounds
like there are *some* reports (pg. 50). There’s also sporadic mentions of
imported Zika from travelers from Africa or Asia (e.g. See pg 54). But
there
hasn’t been anything as systematic, or
comprehensive as there is now.”
HTH,
Reid

Thanks, Reid. When you say there's insufficient data history, do you
mean
in other sources? Zika was discovered in 1947
and the wiki page for it
was
built in 2009. We have high quality geolocated
data since May 2015.
I'm still doing research (I admit the distractions at the foundation have
gotten in the way, I apologize for that). I hope to get back to it with
renewed force this weekend.

I appreciate the pointer. Are there any specific questions folks would
like me to address in this thread?
Thanks,
Reid
