Abstract
The zones of active Zika virus (ZIKV) infection are expanding globally with the northeastern part of Brazil being a major epicenter of the virus [1, 2]. When ZIKV first stroke Brazil in May 2015, the population was by far unprepared for the subsequent implications of this new disease to the Americas [1, 3].
