What is currently known about the Zika Virus? Include what family the virus belongs to, the mode of transmission, mode of pathogenesis, diagnostic tests and approaches to treat and prevent this infection, and its sequelae.
1) Describe the viral structure of Zika. 2) What type of nucleic acid is in Zika? 3) Which virus family is Zika a part of? 4) How is Zika transmitted? 5) What are the symptoms of Zika in both general hosts and also pregnant women and the baby that they are carrying?
need to fill this table. Yes or No
Zika Virus Lyme Disease Influenza Disease is limited to humans (i.e., no animal reservoir?) Limited persistence in the environment? Absence of long-term carrier state? Long-term immunity results from infection? Vaccination confers long-term immunity? Herd immunity prevents perpetuation of an epidemic? Easily diagnosed disease? Vaccination effective postexposure?

Zika Virus Case Study Questions 1. ZIKV was first discovered in prifmates in the Zika Forest of Uganda in 1947. What changed to facilitate the recent explosive spread in humans? 2. What are the challenges in diagnosing patients who have been exposed to ZIKV?
Zika virus is transmitted primarily by Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito. aegypti is a tropical mosquito whose range in the USA is limited to the southern states. However, the Asian Tiger Mosquito, Aedes albopictus is a potential vector for Zika, and it has a much broader range in the USA than does Ae. aegypti. Which of the following would NOT be an effective methods to determine if Ae. albopictus might become an important vector for Zika virus in the...
Zika virus exposure during pregnancy has been associated with microcephaly in newborns. Koch’s postulates are traditionally used to link a pathogen to a disease. List three reasons why Koch’s postulates are not completely applicable in this case.

Name and describe the six steps in the replication of a flavivirus, such as Zika virus (ZIKV), which is an enveloped positive-sense RNA virus that causes fever, pain and more rarely Guillain-Barre syndrome and developmental defects in children of women infected during pregnancy. Include the details of viral genome replication.
6. Imagine that Zika virus has a 1% incidence in the population. A test for the virus has a 3% false positive rate and no false negative rate. If someone takes the test and gets a positive result, what is the chance that they are infected? 7. Imagine that human papillomavirus has a 40% incidence among people 21-30 years of age. A test for the virus has a 50% false negative rate but no false positive rate. If you get...
