I think you're overreacting just a tad. I am bit wary considering the doom and gloom that was predicted about Bird Flu, Swine Flu, West Nile, and Ebola. You'll have to excuse me if I am not hitting the panic button b/c of Zika just yet.
We are defended by first rate medical research institutions and luck so far. The Tropics are much more prone to spread disease than temperate climes, but the vectors here are different. The diseases yo mentioned are not spread by insect bites, while Zika is and so it will spread more reliably.
The only question that remains is how will it survive frost and cold?
