The disease appears to have first arrived in New Zealand in early 2014, with 14 cases reported between January and March.
The number of cases spiked to 42 between April and June that year, most in travellers who had visited the Cook Islands, as well as one from Tonga, and another from Vanuatu.
But the numbers dropped considerably in 2015, when just six cases were reported, all in travellers who had been to the Pacific, including two cases from Samoa.
