Two years back, Zika virus (ZIKV) appeared as a pandemic outbreak and WHO declared the viral outbreak as a ‘global emergency’. Though there has been reduced reports of ZIKV infection from around the world now and health organizations in various countries have decided to reduce their screening, research and concern about ZIKV in 2018, we should never forget that the deadly viral outbreak can return anytime. Hence, we need to be alert and aware about details of ZIKV, its disease causing mechanism and pattern so that we can take proper precaution and fight back the viral attack if needed. This virus is primarily mosquito- borne, though there are reports of sexual transmission.
