Özet
After its first discovery for 70 years, World Health Organization has classified the Zika virus (ZIKV) as a global health risk. The ZIKV
that is transmitted to human by some species of Aedes mosquitos has caused sporadic and epidemic infections generally in
tropical and subtropical regions to date. Though it mainly produces a self-limiting febrile rash disease in symptomatic cases, its real
significance has been better understood after detection of its ability to promote immune-mediated neurologic disorders such as
Guillain Barre syndrome in healthy adults following the acute infection, and microcephalia in the fetus of infected pregnants. In
addition to vectors, its ability to spread by bloodborne and sexual route were recognized as the most potent feature of ZIKV to
spread in population. Wide global distribution of the vectors, including our country, poses a substantial continuous risk for Turkey.
Furthermore, increasing human movement due to the Olympic Games that will be held in Brazil in 2016 summer, where the virus is
the most prevalent country, is a growing concern about augmenting the spread of virus to the world. In this review, latest data
about the ZIKV transmission, health problems caused by, and treatment properties were aimed to be evaluated in a historical
progress, and some preventive measurements were suggested.
