The presence of the Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has gone ahead to be a threat to people based on its adverse impacts. More specifically, the pregnant women have been discouraged from traveling to the areas affected by the ZIKV because of the likelihood of the virus causing congenital abnormalities especially the microcephaly. The pregnant women probably attracted the virus during their first trimester while visiting ZIKV affected territories. Although the ZIKV infected cases have reduced in some parts of countries, the global risk assessment has not been changed. The virus continues to spread geographically to areas where competent vectors are present. At present, there is still no treatment of ZIKV related illness, especially microcephaly.
寨卡病毒（ZIKV）感染的存在因其负面影响已成为对人类的一种威胁。更具体地说，孕妇已被劝阻前往受ZIKV影响的地区，因为该病毒有可能导致先天性异常，尤其是小头畸形。孕妇可能在孕早期访问受ZIKV影响的地区时感染了该病毒。尽管在一些国家的部分地区，ZIKV感染病例有所减少，但全球风险评估并未改变。该病毒继续在地理上传播到存在有效传播媒介的地区。目前，仍然没有针对ZIKV相关疾病，尤其是小头畸形的治疗方法。
