These two years are considered as most productive years. The author the maximum Wiwanitkit, V. has contributed the highest number of articles 213(24.23%) research publications in the United States. The subjects in Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology have contributed the highest number of with 2451(54.75%) research publications. The United States contributed the highest number of articles which amounts to more than 4893(39.92%) of the total publication. The authorship pattern is 1496 research publications are contributed by single authors and the average degree of collaboration is 0.88. The average CC is 0.67, the average CI is 4.45, and the average MCC is 4.60. The Institutions of with Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz research institute alone published 695(22.51%) research publications. The journals of Viruses are at the top of the list with 429(20.88) research publications. The large majority of the research output is available in the form of Article 7608(61.88%) research publications. The time series analysis statistical application will be expected in the zika virus research publications in the year 2025 is around equal to 2749 in the year 2030 is around equal to 3104.
