Emergence of Zika Virus
Zika virus was first described in the 1940s. During more than all of a century, less than 20 human infections have been reported. Emergence of Zika virus started with a first outbreak in the Pacific area in 2007 (Federated States of Micronesia), a second large outbreak occurred in the Pacific in 2013/2014 (French Polynesia) and subsequently the virus spread in other Pacific Islands. Zika virus ...
متن کاملEmergence of Zika Virus Infection
Zika virus is an arbovirus in the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus related to dengue virus (DENV), yellow fever, West Nile virus (WNV) and Japanese encephalitis viruses. ZIKV was iso¬lated for the first time in 1947 from a rhesus monkey in the Zika forest of Uganda [1]. The virus caused only sporadic infection and human cases were reported from the 1960s in Asia and Africa, typically accom...

متن کاملEmergence and Spreading Potential of Zika Virus
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arthropod-borne Flavivirus (family Flaviviridae) closely related to dengue, yellow fever and West Nile viruses. ZIKV remained neglected, confined to enzootic transmission cycles in Africa and Asia, until the first significant outbreak was reported in Micronesia in 2007. Subsequent epidemics of growing incidence occurred in French Polynesia and other South Pacific Islands...
متن کاملEmergence of Epidemic Zika Virus Transmission and Congenital Zika Syndrome: Are Recently Evolved Traits to Blame?
The mechanisms responsible for the dramatic emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV), accompanied by congenital Zika syndrome and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), remain unclear. However, two hypotheses are prominent: (i) evolution for enhanced urban transmission via adaptation to mosquito vectors, or for enhanced human infection to increase amplification, or (ii) the stochastic introduction of ZIKV into l...
