Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arbovirus which is spread mostly by the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. In 2015, the outbreak of Zika virus in Brazil cause rapid spread of this virus throughout the Americas. A new report of relation between ZIKV infection and an epidemic of microcephaly among Brazilian neonates attracted universal attention. All the studies reviewed so far, however, suffer from the fact that, there is still no vaccine exist to prevent zika. Hence, important factor on preventing zika is by avoiding mosquitoes bite.
