| Abstract | Since isolation of Zika virus (ZIKV) in Uganda from Zika forest in the 1947, for sixty years the virus
has caused only scattered human cases in Africa and Southeast Asia. From 2007, outbreaks with an
increasing number of cases, including cases with neurological manifestations, have been occurring
in Pacific islands. In 2015, ZIKV reached Brazil with an explosive number of cases and a severe
neurological impact on fetuses and newborns. The natural history and several immunological aspects
of ZIKV infection need to be characterized. In this review it is summarized the spread of ZIKV around
the world and pointed out some gaps on the immunological knowledge related to the infection. The
characterization of the immunodominant/protective immune response would contribute to vaccine
and diagnosis tests development. | pt_BR |
