, C228 Task 2


The Zika virus causes a viral infection, transmitted mainly by mosquitos, that can be

difficult to diagnose because most people infected have no signs or symptoms of the disease.

Those who do experience effects of the virus typically present with mild and vague complaints

which can include low-grade fever, rash, joint and or muscle pain, headache and conjunctivitis.

It is extremely rare for Zika virus to cause death but it does have associated complications.

Those infected can develop a neurological disorder, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and there are links

to both miscarriage and a congenital brain defect, microcephaly, if Zika is contracted during

pregnancy (“Zika virus disease,”2017). The Zika virus was first discovered in Uganda in 1947 and

has since spread throughout the world with incidences of the disease documented in over 50

countries (Kindhauser, M.K., Allen, T., Frank, V., Santhana, R.S., & Dye, C., 2016). The most

recent and ongoing outbreak of Zika infection began in Brazil in May of 2015 (“Zika virus

infection – Brazil and Columbia,” 2015).


A region is considered to be experiencing an outbreak of the Zika virus when it is

documented that the virus is being spread by indigenous or autochthonous mosquitoes.

Autochthonous transmission of the Zika virus was first discovered in the Americas in Chile from

February to June of 2014 (Pan American Health Organization & World Health Organization,

2015). The virus resurfaced in the Americas in May of 2015, causing an outbreak which began in

Brazil. Since the discovery of the Zika virus in Brazil many more countries and territories

throughout the Americas have confirmed autochthonous transmission of the disease. The dates

which Zika was detected in the involved areas are as follows. Prior to October 2015 only Brazil

was affected. From October to December of 2015 Colombia, El Salvador, French Guiana,

Guatemala, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Suriname and
