UNASSIGNED: @entity31598 (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne Flavivirus discovered in Uganda in the 1940s. To date, three major ZIKV outbreaks have been reported. @entity778 have known to be primarily asymptomatic while causing mild illness in a few cases. However, the recent emergence and spread of ZIKV in the Americas has resulted in the declaration of "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" due to the potential association between the infection and prenatal @entity4242 or other @entity75 . In Brazil, a 20-fold increase in prenatal @entity4242 cases and 19% increase in @entity5011 ( @entity5011 ) cases were reported in 2015, as compared to the preceding year. The probable deleterious effects of @entity778 prompt the urgent development of diagnostics and therapeutics. To this end, the existing evidences supporting the increasingly common prenatal @entity4242 and @entity5011 association and the current known ZIKV transmission dynamics, modes of detection (molecular and serology-based), and current control strategies are summarized in this review. This review also emphasizes the importance of understanding ZIKV transmission in order to design a sensitive yet cost and time-efficient detection technique. Development of an efficient detection technique would subsequently allow for better surveillance and control of @entity778 . Currently, limited literature is available on the pathogenesis of ZIKV, hence, focusing on the modes of ZIKV transmission could potentially contribute to the understanding of the disease spectrum and formulation of targeted treatment and control.
