New England Journal of Medicine, 2016 SUMMARYZika virus (ZIKV) is an arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) in the genusFlavivirusand the familyFlaviviridae. ZIKV was first isolated from a nonhuman primate in 1947 and from mosquitoes in 1948 in Africa, and ZIKV infections in humans were sporadic for half a century before emerging in the Pacific and the Americas.

Zika virus and Zika fever [PDF]
Virologica Sinica, 2016 An emerging mosquito-borne arbovirus named Zika virus (ZIKV), of the family Flaviviridae and genus Flavivirus, is becoming a global health threat. ZIKV infection was long neglected due to its sporadic nature and mild symptoms. However, recently, with its rapid spread from Asia to the Americas, affecting more than 30 countries, accumulating evidences ...

Zika virus and microcephaly [PDF]
The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2016 Before 2015, Zika virus, a mosquito-transmitted flavivirus endemic to Africa and Southeast Asia, was thought to cause only a mild, self-limiting dengue-like illness. First discovered in 1947 in Uganda, the virus became epidemic in the Pacific islands 10 years ago.

Médecine et Santé Tropicales, 2016 Since its discovery in 1947 in Uganda, the Zika virus (ZIKV) remained in the shadows emerging in 2007 in Micronesia, where hundreds of dengue-like syndromes were reported. Then, in 2013-2014, it was rife in French Polynesia, where the first neurological effects were observed.

Calibration of a SEIR-SEI epidemic model to describe the Zika virus outbreak in Brazil [PDF]
Applied Mathematics and Computation, vol. 338, pp. 249-259, 2018, 2021 Multiple instances of Zika virus epidemic have been reported around the world in the last two decades, turning the related illness into an international concern. In this context the use of mathematical models for epidemics is of great importance, since they are useful tools to study the underlying outbreak numbers and allow one to test the ...

The immunology of Zika Virus [PDF]
F1000Research, 2018 Zika virus (ZIKV) was initially thought to cause only mild, self-limiting symptoms. However, recent outbreaks have been associated with the autoimmune disease Guillain-Barré syndrome and causally linked to a congenital malformation known as microcephaly. This has led to an urgent need for a safe and effective vaccine.
