Zika virus disease is caused by the Zika virus, which is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Individuals infected with the Zika virus typically exhibit symptoms such as a mild fever, skin rashes, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise, or headache. These symptoms usually persist for 2-7 days. Since Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya viruses are prevalent in the same regions and produce similar symptoms, laboratory testing is essential for accurate identification of the specific virus. Real-time RT-PCR testing for Zika virus is most effective when conducted within the first 10 days after symptoms appear.
