Abstract

Initially isolated in 1947, Zika virus (ZIKV) has recently emerged as a significant public health concern. Sequence analysis of all 41 known ZIKV RNA open reading frames to date indicates that ZIKV has undergone significant changes in both protein and nucleotide sequences during the past half century.
