Zika virus, disease, microcephaly, dengue, Asia, Southern Pacific IslandsAbstract
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus related to yellow fever, dengue, West Nile, and Japanese encephalitis viruses. In 2007 ZIKV caused an outbreak of relatively mild disease characterized by rash, arthralgia, and conjunctivitis on Yap Island in the south western Pacific Islands. Zika virus trend infection have been confirmed in several infants with microcephaly and in fetal losses in women infected during pregnancy. The virus can be prevented and control by sleeping under treated mosquito net to protect you from Mosquito bite. This was the first time that ZIKV was detected outside of Africa and Asia. The history, transmission dynamics, virology, and clinical manifestations of ZIKV disease are discussed, along with the possibility for diagnostic confusion between ZIKV illness and dengue. The emergence of ZIKV outside of its previously known geographic range should prompt awareness of the potential for ZIKV to spread to other Pacific islands and the America.
