ABSTRACT
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a kind of mosquito-borne flavivirus. ZIKV infection initially shows mild symptoms on patients, but will lead to severe neurological complications (such as Guillain-Barré syndrome) in the end. Meanwhile, pregnant women are sensitive to ZIKV, since the viruses may cause microcephaly. In 2015, after the epidemic in Brazil, ZIKV draws the public attention around the world because of its increased virulence and rapid dissemination. However, there is no approved specific anti-ZIKV drugs at present. This review summarizes progress on anti-zika virus drug research and provides prospects in this field.
