Zika
Virus (ZIKV) is mosquito-borne emerging flavivirus which was first
identified in Zika Forest of Uganda in 1947 in rhesus monkeys. It was
later identified in humans in 1968 for the first time in Nigeria.
Different outbreaks of Zika virus disease have been recorded in Africa,
the Americas, Asia and the Pacific. Its infection is caused by the bite
of an infected Aedes mosquito, usually causing mild fever,
rash, conjunctivitis, and muscle pain. In Brazil in May 2015, the Pan
American Health Organization (PAHO) issued an alert regarding the first
confirmed Zika virus infections.
