Abstract
Zika virus was first isolated in 1947 from a rhesus monkey in Uganda, since then multiple sporadic outbreaks of the infections have been reported. Acknowledging the association between the Zika virus infections and a simultaneous rise in the incidence of Microcephaly, the disease has been regarded as a public health concern. Further, owing to the extensive magnitude and the propensity of the infection to spread internationally, the disease requires collaboration from all the concerned sectors. However, considering that there are no therapeutic tool or vaccine available for the containment of the infection, there is a significant need to invest in the research activities. In conclusion, Zika virus infection is a global public health concern and it requires extensive effort from all the concerned sectors for the prevention and control of the infection. The need of the hour is to strengthen the health-care delivery system and support the same with the standard infection control and better implementation of International Health Regulations.
