Abstract

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the family Flaviviridae. In common with the other members of this group, it is a single-stranded RNA virus with an envelope and an icosahedral morphology [1]. The viral envelope consists of a lipid membrane densely studded with projecting glycoproteins [1].
