ABSTRACT- Viroids and prions might have existed early at the border of inanimate and living worlds. Viruses can only replicate within another living cell, using its "machinery" The Zika virus (ZIKV) is a newly emerged pathogen in the Western hemisphere. Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted flavivirus that has emerged as a global health threat because of its potential to generate explosive epidemics and ability to cause congenital disease in the context of infection during pregnancy. ZIKV infection symptoms range from asymptomatic to Gullain–Barré syndrome and extensive neuropathology in infected fetuses. The rapid development of cell culture and animal models has facilitated a new appreciation of ZIKV biology. This Review focuses on details history, important updates and gaps in the knowledge of Zika virus.
