Zika Virus was initially discovered in monkeys in Republic of Uganda in 1947 [1]. This was followed by the virus identification in humans in Republic of Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania in 1952 [1]. Since 2007, Zika virus infections have been reported in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania [2]. The first mosquito-transmitted, locally acquired cases of Zika virus in Europe were reported in October 2019 [3].
