Abstract

We describe a retrospective study on circulation of Zika virus in Cambodia during 2007-2016 among patients with dengue-like symptoms and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Our findings suggest that Zika virus in Cambodia belongs to the Asia genotype, is endemic, has low prevalence, and has had low-level impact on public health.

Keywords: Cambodia; Flaviviridae; Zika virus; circulation; diagnosis; flavivirus; infection; vector-borne infections; viruses.
