Zika virus is an arthropod-borne virus primarily transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. The virus belongs to the Flaviviridae family and is related to dengue, West Nile, and yellow fever viruses. First identified in the Zika Forest of Uganda in 1947, the virus gained global attention during the 2015-2016 outbreak in the Americas. While many Zika virus infections are asymptomatic or result in mild flu-like symptoms, the virus has been associated with severe neurological complications, particularly microcephaly in infants born to infected mothers. Zika virus can also be transmitted sexually and through blood transfusions. Efforts to control the spread of Zika include mosquito control measures, public health campaigns, and research into vaccines and antiviral treatments. The global health community continues to monitor and study Zika virus due to its potential to cause outbreaks and its impact on reproductive health. Research efforts aim to enhance our understanding of the virus, improve diagnostics, and develop effective preventive measures.
