Study Casts New Light on Evolution, Spread of Zika Virus
A team of scientists led by Dr. Massimo Ciccozzi from the University Campus Bio-Medico in Rome, Italy, has modeled the evolutionary development and diversity of Zika virus to understand how infection spreads between populations and how the virus reacts with the immune system.Zika virus was accidentally discovered in Uganda in 1947, during a course of surveillance on mosquitoes and primates.It has now circled the globe, arriving in the Americas and in 2015, in the country of Cape Verde in West Africa.
