Zika virus (ZIKV) is a negative sense RNA virus from the Flaviviridae family, which was relatively unknown until the first human epidemic in Micronesia, in 2007. Since then, it spread to French Polynesia and the Americas. Recife, the capital of Pernambuco state and epicenter of the Zika epidemic in Brazil, experienced a large number of microcephaly cases and other congenital abnormalities associated to the ZIKV infection from, 2015 to 16.

- * In 2014, CHIKV was introduced to Brazil through two different genotypes: the Asian/Caribbean and the African ECSA, causing outbreaks among unexposed populations.
- * Recent genomic sequencing from a Northeast Brazil outbreak showed that both genotypes are now circulating together, indicating coinfection may be common in these areas, requiring better understanding of CHIKV's spread.
