Resumo: Zika virus (ZIKV) is anAedesmosquito-borne flavivirus that emerged in Brazil in 2015 - then rapidly spread throughout the tropical - subtropical Americas. Based on clinical criteria alone, ZIKV cannot be reliably distinguished from infections with other pathogens that cause an undifferentiated systemic febrile illness, including infections with two common arboviruses, dengue virus - chikungunya virus. This minireview details the methods that are available to diagnose ZIKV infection.
