ZIKA is a single stranded RNA that was first isolated in a sentines rhescus monkey in the zik forest of Uganda in 1947. Primarily transmitted through the aedes aegypti mosquito of family flavivrudae over the past 60 years the ZIKA has been observed circulating among African and Asian populations. The first human case was detected in Nigeria in 1953. In these review we study the pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and medication of ZIKA virus.

Abstract


ZIKA is a single stranded RNA that was first isolated in a sentines rhescus monkey in the zik forest of Uganda in 1947. Primarily transmitted through the aedes aegypti mosquito of family flavivrudae over the past 60 years the ZIKA has been observed circulating among African and Asian populations. The first human case was detected in Nigeria in 1953. In these review we study the pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and medication of ZIKA virus.
