Aircraft wise, no additional disinsection requirements specific to Zika have been reported recently. A full country list from the ECDC is shown below, with information current as of 01FEB2017.

A WHO report from Jan 20th says: “Overall, the global risk assessment has not changed. The Zika virus continues to spread geographically to areas where competent vectors are present. Although a decline in cases of Zika infection has been reported in some countries, or in some parts of countries, vigilance needs to remain high.”
