Zika Virus - Genel Bakış
Journal Title: Kocaeli Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Zika virus is a flavivirus that spreads to humans by a bite from an infected Aedes mosquito. This infection is usually asymptomatic or presents with mild symptoms in infected individuals. However, if a pregnant lady gets infected with this virus, congenital brain damage associated with microcephaly is manifested in the new born. Zika virus infection has been considered as an emergency outbreak by the WHO and hence immediate safety measures have to be adopted in curbing the disease. The paper presented here provides an overview about the Zika virus.
