Abstract
The Zika virus (ZIKV) may cause microcephaly and other serious birth defects. Due to a lack of epidemiological data, the teratogenic risk is unknown. The upcoming Olympic Games in Rio may cause it to spread to unprepared countries with underdeveloped healthcare systems. ZIKV is also sexually transmitted. The pathogenesis of sexual transmission and the duration of contagiousness are currently unknown. To minimize the risks caused by the Olympic Games in Rio, developing and emerging nations must be supported in disease prevention by the WHO and industrialized nations. In addition, the pathogenesis and risks of sexual ZIKV transmission require thorough investigation.
