In 1947, the Zika disease was recognized to be transmitted by mosquitoes in Uganda. Although sexual contact, blood transfusions, and transmission from mother to fetus during pregnancy are the three main ways HIV is transmitted, Aedes mosquitos are the primary vectors. Among the Zika virus's warning signs and Complications include pyrexia, a rash, & pain in the joints. When the virus affects pregnant women, significant birth defects including microcephaly can develop. The Zika virus, for which no cure or vaccine is available, can be avoided by avoiding mosquito bites and practicing safe sex. In adults, children, and fetuses, the non-vector-borne Zika virus is known to cause serious neurological problems. There are, however, virus-specific therapeutic targets that could result in the creation of brand-new anti-ZIKV medications. Even though the most of them being linked in connection to the virus known as Zika victims exhibit minimal to no symptoms, there is a chance of more severe conditions like Guillain-Barre syndrome and congenital birth problems like microcephaly. Guidelines for safe sex have also been developed, especially for women who are or may become pregnant, in view of the potential for sexual transmission of the Zika virus. For the most recent Zika virus epidemics, we looked at the epidemiological backdrop, the mechanisms of transmission, the clinical signs, and the diagnostic and preventative measures in this study. It is essential to continue funding research and development in order to decrease the detrimental consequences of newly developing infectious diseases on public health.
