ABSTRACT

Zika virus (ZIKV), a kind of mosquito borne flavivirus , has spread rapidly in recent years and triggers global large scale epidemic outbreaks.ZIKV infection can lead to severe potential complications such as infant microcephaly and Guillain Barrésyndrome, which has caused social panic and global widespread attentions .The serological detection of ZIKV is easy to be con -fused by other flaviviruses, thus the establishment of specific and effective detection methods is extremely important in the prevention and control of ZIKV transmission.In this paper, the epidemic situation of ZIKV in global and Chinese and research progress of ZIKV detection methods including pathogeny detecting method , serological detecting method and nucleic acid detecting method are reviewed , and the future perspective of detection methods research is also briefly described .
