Abstract

Background: An outbreak of Zika virus has been recently reported in the Americas, specifically in northern Brazil. Due to the fact that the main vectors of the disease, Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus, are widely distributed in the region, epidemics of a greater magnitude are expected to develop in the short term. Methods: References about the implications on disease transmission, geographical distribution, breeding and bionomics of the vectors most frequently associated with virus transmission have been reviewed. Conclusions: This research aims to sensitize health teams and the general public to this infection, which shares the same vectors and some clinical features with dengue and Chikungunya, both common diseases in the Americas.
