    Snippet: Zika virus (ZIKV), a member of the genus Flavivirus in the family Flaviviridae, is an enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus. Like the closely related Dengue virus (DENV), ZIKA is also mosquito borne, spread by multiple Aedes species. Since its discovery in 1947, previous reports of ZIKV detection have been largely sporadic until the recent and ongoing outbreak of ZIKV in the Americas (Campos et al., 2015) , with a few notable except.....
    Document: Zika virus (ZIKV), a member of the genus Flavivirus in the family Flaviviridae, is an enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus. Like the closely related Dengue virus (DENV), ZIKA is also mosquito borne, spread by multiple Aedes species. Since its discovery in 1947, previous reports of ZIKV detection have been largely sporadic until the recent and ongoing outbreak of ZIKV in the Americas (Campos et al., 2015) , with a few notable exceptions, including the ZIKV outbreaks in the Yap Islands (2007) (Duffy et al., 2009 ) and French Polynesia (2013 (Cao-Lormeau and Musso, 2014) . The close similarity between the clinical manifestations of ZIKV and those of DENV and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) remains a potential obstacle to the efficient surveillance and management of ZIKV.
