Outbreaks of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in tropical and subtropical regions are a cause of worldwide concern and represent a public health emergency. ZIKV was isolated from a 17-year-old patient with fever and maculopapular rash. The patient returned to Japan from the Republic of Fiji in late April 2016. The complete genome sequence of the ZIKV isolate (ZIKV/Hu/S36/Chiba/2016), which might be the first strain to be isolated in Japan, was identified and reported.
热带和亚热带地区寨卡病毒（ZIKV）感染的爆发引起了全球关注，并构成了公共卫生紧急事件。寨卡病毒是从一名患有发热和斑丘疹的17岁患者身上分离出来的。该患者于2016年4月下旬从斐济共和国返回日本。已鉴定并报告了寨卡病毒分离株（ZIKV/Hu/S36/千叶/2016）的完整基因组序列，这可能是在日本分离出的首个毒株。
