French Polynesia and the French Territories of the Americas (FTAs) have experienced outbreaks of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection. These territories used similar sentinel syndromic surveillance to follow the epidemics. However, the surveillance system only takes into account consulting patients diagnosed with ZIKV disease, while non-consulting cases, as well as asymptomatic cases, are not taken into account. In the French territories under study, the ratio of consulting to non-consulting patients was found to likely be as low as 1/3 to 1/4, and rough estimates of the ZIKV asymptomatic infections indicated a lower rate than previously reported (i.e., not more than half).
法属波利尼西亚和法属美洲领地（FTAs）曾爆发过 Zika 病毒（ZIKV）感染疫情。这些地区采用了类似的哨点综合征监测来跟踪疫情。然而，监测系统仅考虑了咨询过 ZIKV 疾病的患者，而未考虑未咨询过的病例和无症状病例。在所研究的法属领土中，咨询患者与未咨询患者的比例可能低至 1/3 到 1/4，而对 ZIKV 无症状感染的粗略估计表明，其感染率低于此前的报告（即，不超过一半）。
