MeSH Heading: Zika Virus Infection
Tree Number(s): C01.920.852.937; C01.925.081.990; C01.925.782.350.250.990
Unique ID: D000071243
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000071243
Scope Note: A viral disease transmitted by the bite of AEDES mosquitoes infected with ZIKA VIRUS. Its mild DENGUE-like symptoms include fever, rash, headaches and ARTHRALGIA. The viral infection during pregnancy, in rare cases, is associated with congenital brain and ocular abnormalities, called Congenital Zika Syndrome, including MICROCEPHALY and may also lead to GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME.
