Abstract
Zika virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a serious global health threat, with expanding geographic transmission and association with neurological complications. As ZIKA virus spreads rapidly and more knowledge of its long-term effects are needed to guide clinical management and public health policy. This in-depth review gives an analysis of the historical background, epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations associated with Zika virus. This review intends to focus on the many-sided nature of this virus, which affects pregnant women and children; presents problems in regard to developing a treatment regimen or vaccine, and provides testimony to how important vector control measures are. Screening, monitoring and possible interventions of the fetus in controlling Zika virus during pregnancy are all subjects for further study. Moreover, there is also a look at the advances and problems in Zika virus vaccine development. In conclusion, this review revealed the need of the interdisciplinary and combined effort to take on new public health challenges and control spreading of Zika virus.
