Current Topics in Zika

Edited by Alfonso J. Rodriguez-Morales

Universidad Tecnologica de Pereira

Zika is a flavivirus that has been especially important not just for the high number of cases but also for its related morbidity.

This book tried to update the significant epidemiological and clinical research in many aspects with a multinational perspective.
