Objectives. To describe salient epidemiological characteristics of Zika virus outbreaks across the world and to examine the clinical presentations, complications, and atypical manifestations related to their occurrence in recent history.
Methods. We conducted a systematic review of the literature by searching through MEDLINE, Embase, and Global Health Library, as well as the epidemiological bulletins and alerts from the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization, and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control over the period 1954 to 2016.

Abstract
Zika virus is an emerging flavivirus that is following the path of dengue and chikungunya. The three Aedes-borne viruses cause simultaneous outbreaks with similar clinical manifestations which represents a diagnostic challenge in ill returning travellers. We report the first Zika virus infection case imported to Switzerland and present a diagnostic algorithm.

Zika fever, considered as an emerging disease of arboviral origin, because of its expanding geographic area, is known as a benign infection usually presenting as an influenza-like illness with cutaneous rash. So far, Zika virus infection has never led to hospitalisation. We describe the first case of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) occurring immediately after a Zika virus infection, during the current Zika and type 1 and 3 dengue fever co-epidemics in French Polynesia.

Viral infections present a global challenge, and their critical impact on global health is even more significant when the outcome is associated with detrimental effects in pregnant women and newborn infants.
The recent Ebola epidemic was responsible for increased maternal mortality. Mortality among preg- nant women was found to be higher than in the general population or non-pregnant women. In the 1976 epidemic, 46% of the 177 Ebola-infected women were pregnant and the overall mortality among those women was 89%. A major clinical manifestation was vaginal and uterine bleeding with 93% mortality within 10 days of illness onset.1,2 Moreover, a significant increase in preterm birth and spontaneous abortion has been reported within the different epidemics.3,4

In December 2013, during a Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak in French Polynesia, a patient in Tahiti sought treatment for hematospermia, and ZIKV was isolated from his semen. ZIKV transmission by sexual intercourse has been previ- ously suspected. This observation supports the possibility that ZIKV could be transmitted sexually.
