Zika vaccines are developed for immunization & prevention against diseases caused by Zika
virus. This virus belongs to genus Flavivirus and is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. The virus
can also be transmitted through blood transfusion, sexual contact or from infected pregnant
women to the fetus. Diagnosis of this infection is confirmed by detecting viral DNA through
PCR. However, only 1 in 4 people with zika infection are prone to develop symptoms. In
November 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that zika infection no longer
constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) as major cases of zika
virus were asymptomatic.

In April 2015, a major ongoing outbreak of Zika virus was registered in Brazil, which later
affected the population in South and Central America. This outbreak caused mild illness (fever,
rashes, joint pains, conjunctivitis, nausea, and muscle pain), though the recent outbreaks
showed severe complications such as microcephaly, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and various
congenital neurological abnormalities in infants who were born to infected mothers. The link
between zika virus and microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome was identified and reported
in 2015 in Brazil.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 70 new zika virus infection
cases were reported in the U.S. in 2015, which increased to 41,181 cases in 2016. Lack of
reporting is a major factor for lower incidence rate in 2015. Increase in awareness can result in
more diagnosis and reporting thus generating growth of the global zika vaccines market.
Researchers at the Queensland University of Technology found that the extract of San Francisco
plant (Codiaeum variegatum) found in Australia, can kill the zika virus. This extract can arrest
the virus and stop it from replicating without causing any damage to the host cells.
