What are the Epidemiological Patterns of Zika Virus?
The epidemiology of Zika virus has evolved significantly in recent years. Initially confined to Africa and Asia, the virus has spread to the Americas, where it caused a major outbreak in 2015-2016. The geographical distribution of Zika virus is guided by the presence of Aedes mosquitoes, which thrive in tropical and subtropical climates. The outbreak in the Americas drew significant attention due to its link with birth defects and neurological disorders.
