Zika virus in the Americas: A New Global Health Emergency

Нe World Health Organization (WHO) has warned of the rapid spread of Zika virus (ZIKV). In February 2016, Dr. Margaret Chan has declared the ZIKV and its suspected link to birth defects an public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). ZIKV is a member of the flDvLvLrus family, which als...

ZIKV is a member of the flDvLvLrus family, which also includes Yellow fever virus, Dengue virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and West Nile virus.
