TLDR
Clinical and serologic evidence indicate that 2 American scientists contracted Zika virus infections while working in Senegal in 2008 and one of the scientists transmitted this arbovirus to his wife after his return home.Abstract:
Clinical and serologic evidence indicate that 2 American scientists contracted Zika virus infections while working in Senegal in 2008. One of the scientists transmitted this arbovirus to his wife after his return home. Direct contact is implicated as the transmission route, most likely as a sexually transmitted infection.read more

TL;DR: Results of phylogenetic and molecular clock analyses show a single introduction of ZikV into the Americas, which is estimated to have occurred between May and December 2013, more than 12 months before the detection of ZIKV in Brazil.

TL;DR: The clinical and laboratory features of two mothers and their newborns who had ZikAV infection as confirmed by ZIKAV RT-PCR performed on serum collected within four days post-delivery in date are described.
