Translated Description (Arabic)

فيروس زيكا هو فيروس مفصلي ينتشر في حالة مثيرة للقلق في القارات الأمريكية والآن في البلدان الآسيوية. البعوض الزاعج هي ناقلات انتشار هذا الفيروس إلى جانب طرق انتقال أخرى. حاليًا، لا توجد لقاحات أو أدوية متاحة لعلاجه. يتم الإبلاغ عن حالات صغر الرأس المرتبطة بفيروس زيكا في أجنة النساء الحوامل اللواتي أصبن بهذه العدوى الفيروسية. ومع ذلك، لم يتم بعد تحديد الآلية الدقيقة لفيروس زيكا وصغر الرأس. هنا نستعرض وبائيات فيروس زيكا، وعلاقته غير العادية بصغر الرأس في الأجنة والتقدم العلمي الحالي عليه.

Translated Description (French)

Le virus Zika est un arbovirus qui se propage à un état alarmant sur les continents américains et maintenant dans les pays asiatiques. Les moustiques Aedes sont les vecteurs de la propagation de ce virus à côté d'autres modes de transmission. Actuellement, il n'y a pas de vaccins ou de médicaments disponibles pour son traitement. Les cas de microcéphalie liés au virus Zika sont signalés chez les fœtus de femmes enceintes qui ont contracté cette infection virale. Cependant, le mécanisme exact du virus Zika et de la microcéphalie n'est toujours pas établi. Nous examinons ici l'épidémiologie du virus Zika, sa relation inhabituelle avec la microcéphalie chez les fœtus et les progrès de la recherche scientifique actuelle à ce sujet.

Translated Description (Spanish)

El virus del Zika es un arbovirus que se está propagando en un estado alarmante en los continentes americanos y ahora en los países asiáticos. Los mosquitos Aedes son los vectores para la propagación de este virus además de otras formas de transmisión. Actualmente, no hay vacunas o medicamentos disponibles para su tratamiento. Los casos de microcefalia relacionados con el virus del Zika se informan en fetos de mujeres embarazadas que contrajeron esta infección viral. Sin embargo, aún no se ha establecido el mecanismo exacto del virus del Zika y la microcefalia. Aquí revisamos la epidemiología del virus del Zika, su relación inusual con la microcefalia en fetos y el progreso actual de la investigación científica al respecto.
