Abstract

ZIKA VIRUS: SYMPTOMS, AFFECTED COUNTRIES, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

Dr. Sandip Kshirsagar and Varsha Dighe*

ABSTRACT

Zika virus is a mosquito-borne disease that is spread by the Aedes species of mosquito, the mosquito also responsible for the transmission of dengue and chikungunya viruses. Unlike malaria-carrying mosquitos, this species is mostly active during the day and so barrier methods, such as mosquito nets, are less effective. Zika virus (ZIKV) has two lineages: African and Asian. Mosquito-borne flaviviruses are thought to replicate initially in dendritic cells and then spread to lymph nodes and the blood stream. Risk for infection through blood transfusion, sexual practices and perinatal transmission exists. The possible routes of perinatal transmission are during delivery, breastfeeding and by close contact between the mother and her newborn. There are two types of ZIKV infection; Zika fever and congenital infection.Laboratory tests are needed for diagnosis of ZIKV infection, because there is no known pathognomonic clinical, biochemical or radiological features.
