Zika virus infection: an update

Microbes and Infection, 2019
Since the ZIKV outbreak in Brazil in 2015, the scientific community has joined efforts to gather more information on the epidemiology, clinical features and pathogenicity of the virus. Here, we summarize the most important advances made recently and discuss promising, innovative approaches to understand and control ZIKV infection.

An update on Zika virus infection [PDF]

The Lancet, 2017
The epidemic history of Zika virus began in 2007, with its emergence in Yap Island in the western Pacific, followed in 2013-14 by a larger epidemic in French Polynesia, south Pacific, where the first severe complications and non-vector-borne transmission of the virus were reported. Zika virus emerged in Brazil in 2015 and was declared a national public
