    Zika virus is spread through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It was first identified in monkeys in Uganda in 1947 and in humans in Uganda and Tanzania in 1952. Symptoms are usually mild and last 2-7 days, including fever, rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise, and headache. While the incubation period is unclear, it is likely a few days. There is no treatment or vaccine currently available. The WHO is coordinating global efforts to enhance surveillance, improve vector control, communicate risks and prevention measures, provide medical care, and fast-track research on vaccines, diagnostics and therapeutics.
