The document discusses the lack of data available about the Zika virus and proposes several open approaches to address this issue, including making outbreak research openly accessible, tracking mosquito vectors through crowdsourcing and models, expanding genomic surveillance of the virus, and developing low-cost paper diagnostics and open source hardware for monitoring and control.
