It notes some of the critical scientific questions regarding Zika that deserve further exploration, including: whether certain viral mutations occurred to facilitate its geographical spread; if different species of Aedes mosquitoes are capable of transmitting Zika and what that may mean for future transmission; what is apparently unique to Zika compared to other more well - known flaviviruses, such as dengue, that can explain why it can cause congenital infections, neurological conditions and encephalitis, transmit sexually and persist for long periods of time in multiple parts of the human body; and whether preexisting immunity to other related flaviviruses may impact Zika exposure and infection.

Flaviviruses are the cause of diseases spread by mosquitoes (e.g., dengue fever and West Nile fever) and by ticks (e.g., Powassan virus disease and tick - borne encephalitis).

We performed a systematic investigation, from epidemiology, pathogen isolation, virus characterization, disease reproduction by infection with the isolated virus (fulfilling Koch's postulates), to virus genome sequencing and found that the duck egg drop disease was caused by a new flavivirus, BYD virus, that is closely related to Tembusu virus.
