Florida officials are pushing back against media reports that they are undercounting the number of Zika cases in the Miami area, the first area in the U.S. where mosquitoes are spreading the virus.

It also charged that the department undercounted the number of Zika cases by not including out-of-state residents who got Zika in Florida, meaning the number of local transmissions is 64 cases instead of the 56 reported by local officials.
