摘      要：Zika virus （ZIKV） is a mosquito-borne pathogen from the family Flaviviridae, and infection of humans with ZIKV through mosquito bites may result in a disease known as Zika fever. Most Zika fever cases are asymptomatic and thus go unreported, but if symptoms do appear, they are usually mild in nature （fever, joint pain, headache and macu- Iopapular rash）, and self-resolve within one week （Chen and Hamer 2016）. No deaths have ever been attributed to Zika fever; however, when a woman is infected with ZIKV during pregnancy, vertical transmission of the virus may result in microcephaly in the offspring （Rasmussen, Jamieson et al., 2016）. ZIKV infections in adults are associated with episodes of Guillain-Barr6 syndrome, an autoimmune disorder of the peripheral nervous system, resulting in rapid-onset muscle weakness （Cao-Lormeau, Blake et al. 2016）.
