Zika, which was first isolated from the serum of a febrile sentinel rhesus macaque in 1947 in Zika Forest of Uganda, is emerging as a major ongoing pandemic worldwide in the last few years. Zika virus is a single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus mainly transmitted by mosquitoes. EMI has published a growing list of novel research reports related to different aspects of Zika epidemics and a special topic in this area is established to facilitate the easy access by global researchers.
