| Background | Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arthropod-borne flavivirus transmitted mainly by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Closely related to dengue and yellow fever viruses, ZIKV was first discovered in Uganda in 1947. While most infections cause mild fever, rash, and conjunctivitis, major outbreaks in the Americas revealed strong links to Guillain–Barré syndrome in adults and congenital Zika syndrome in newborns, including microcephaly and other neurological defects.
At the molecular level, ZIKV is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus, encoding both structural proteins (C, prM, E) and non-structural proteins (NS1–NS5). These viral proteins play central roles in viral replication, immune evasion, and host-pathogen interactions, making them key research targets. Two major lineages—African and Asian—have been identified, with the Asian lineage responsible for large-scale epidemics in the Pacific and the Americas.
With no licensed vaccine or antiviral therapy available, ZIKV remains a priority in global virology and immunology research. abinScience supports scientists by providing high-quality ZIKV antibodies, recombinant proteins, and assay solutions to accelerate discoveries in pathogenesis, diagnostics, and therapeutic development.
