Biological Significance
Zika virus spreads to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito, but it can also be sexually transmitted. Zika virus was first discovered in 1947 and is named after the Zika Forest in Uganda. In 1952, the first human cases of Zika were detected. Zika virus has become a highly researched disease due to increase in incidences from 2007 to 2016, when the virus spread eastward, across the Pacific Ocean to the Americas. In 2015–16 Zika virus epidemic reached pandemic levels. The Zika envelope (E) protein composes the majority of the virion surface and it is involved with replication, such as host cell binding and membrane fusion.
Implications in Disease
The symptoms of Zika infection vary from non-existant to visible rash, fever, headaches and conjunctivitis. It is usually non life threatening, but has been associated to microcephaly in unborn fetuses when passed by an infected pregnant mother.
Sequence Information
The sequence of the envelope protein is derived from the African strain (all strains share very high identity in this region).

Product Notes
The Zika virus envelope (Catalog #AAA5304720) is a Recombinant Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Zika virus envelope can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Lateral Flow. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Zika virus envelope for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Zika virus envelope, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
