In February 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the current Zika outbreak a Public Health Emergency of international concern. The Zika virus disease is caused by a virus (family Flaviviridae) transmitted by Aedes spp. mosquitoes. People with the Zika virus disease usually have symptoms that can include a low-grade fever, maculopapular rash, conjunctivitis, arthralgia, malaise, headache and retro-ocular headaches. Neurological and autoimmune complications have been described during the outbreaks in Polynesia and recently in Brazil. There are no licensed medical countermeasures - vaccines, therapies or preventive drugs available for the Zika virus infection and disease.

Keywords: Zika virus; infection; travel; Guillan-Barre syndrome; Aedes spp.; microcephaly; mosquito; prevention; vaccine
