According to a health official, the delay in sending specimens overseas is because the Honolulu lab which American Samoa uses has not been paid.

New Zealand confirmed that one of its cases of zika was traced to American Samoa.

According to health officials in the territory, the 46-year-old man had transited in Apia before traveling to New Zealand.
