Vector-borne transmission and evolution of Zika virus

Abstract: ika virus (ZIKV) is an arthropod-borne flavivirus related to yellow fever, dengue and West Nile viruses 1. ZIKV was first reported in East Africa in 1947 and expanded from the ancestral enzootic cycle in Africa to Asia several decades ago (Fig. 1). At the beginning of the 21st century, the virus expanded into the South Pacific and the Americas, triggering a pandemic that led to 48 countries reporting active ZIKV transmission by 2017 2. Prior to this expansion, there was little scientific research on this virus… Show more

“…Our findings from the mosquito infection experiments and the immunocompromised mouse model support the hypothesis that worldwide ZIKV emergence in the last 15 years was not driven by adaptive virus evolution 2 . We found no evidence for enhanced transmission by the primary epidemic vector, Ae.…”

“…Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus mainly transmitted among humans through the bite of infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes 1,2 . After its first isolation from a sentinel monkey in Uganda in 1947, ZIKV was shown to circulate in enzootic sylvatic cycles in Africa and continental Asia, but human infections were only sporadically reported for half a century [3][4][5] .…”

“…It means that no symptom is unique for ZIKV infection, thus making differential diagnosis even more challenging. Though infected mosquitoes are the main disseminators for the transmission of ZIKV infections, the ZIKV gene can be detected in blood, saliva, urine or semen, indicating multiple potential routes of person-to-person transmission [4][5][6]. The asymptomatic or non-specific infection has many symptoms on ZIKV-infected individuals.…”
