The Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the Flaviviridae family of viruses. It is spread through daytime active Aedes mosquitoes, such as A. aegypti and A. albopictus. The name comes from the Zika forest in Uganda, where the virus was first isolated in 1947. The Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the Flaviviridae family of viruses. It is spread through daytime active Aedes mosquitoes, such as A. aegypti and A. albopictus. The name comes from the Zika forest in Uganda, where the virus was first isolated in 1947. The Zika virus is linked to dengue, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and West Nile viruses. Since the 1950s it has been known to spread in the area of ​​the equatorial strip from Africa to Asia. From 2007 to 2016, the virus spread eastward across the Pacific Ocean to America, causing a Zika virus outbreak in 2015-16. The infection, known as Zika fever or Zika virus, often has mild or no symptoms, similar to a very mild form of dengue fever [1]. While there is no specific therapy, acetaminophen (acetaminophen) and rest can help relieve symptoms [3]. As of 2016, the disease cannot be prevented with medicines or vaccines [3]. Zika can also spread from a pregnant woman to her fetus. This can cause microcephaly, severe brain malformations and other birth defects [4] [5]. Zika infections in adults can rarely cause Guillain – Barré syndrome.
