What is Zika Virus Infection · Virology & Control about?

Overview: “What is this entire thing about Zika? Can’t you scientists leave us alone?” These were questions thrown at me by friend when he called me from Nigeria. I had read about Flavivirus but never showed interest in Zika virus till that call. I immediately mounted an intensive internet search and the headlines read like: “Zika virus: First case reported in UK” (BBC), “Zika virus: outbreak likely to spread across Americas says WHO” (BBC), “Zika virus outbreak prompts CDC to expand travel advisory” (Gizmodo), Rapid spread of Zika virus in the Americas raises alarm” (Science News), and “As Zika spreads, El Salvador asks women not to get pregnant until 2018” (Washington Post).The aim was avoiding birth defect associated with Zika viral infection. By then Zika virus was rising concern in the Americas with Brazil been the hardest hit. I later called my Nigerian friend to assure him that this was not a new virus but an emerging one that is on the rampage. This book will therefore outline some of the available data on Zika virus and make suggestions on how the world can deal with it and potentially draw ideas on how to deal with the menace of re-emerging infections.
