Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the Flaviviridae virus isolated for the rst time from humans in Nigeria.[14]
From 1951 through 1981, evidence of human infection
was reported from other African countries such as the
Central African Republic, Egypt, Gabon, Sierra Leone,
Tanzania, and Uganda, as well as in parts of Asia including India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand,
and Vietnam.[14]
The pathogenesis of the virus is hypothesized to start
with an infection of dendritic cells near the site of inoculation, followed by a spread to lymph nodes and the
bloodstream.[12] Flaviviruses generally replicate in the
cytoplasm, but Zika virus antigens have been found in infected cell nuclei.[15]
2 Transmission
Zika virus is transmitted by daytime-active mosquitoes
and has been isolated from a number of species in the
genus Aedes, such as A. aegypti, and arboreal mosquitoes
such as A. africanus, A. apicoargenteus, A. furcifer, A.
hensilli, A. luteocephalus, and A. vitattus. Studies show
that the extrinsic incubation period in mosquitoes is about
10 days.[14] The vertebrate hosts of the virus are primarily monkeys and humans. Before the current pandemic,
which began in 2007, Zika virus rarely caused recognized 'spillover' infections in humans, even in highly
enzootic areas.[19]
