[h=1]First detection of Zika virus in neotropical primates in Brazil: a possible new reservoir.[/h] http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/04/20/049395

In Africa, da dove il virus Zika ha tratto la sua origine, ? stato dapprima isolato in una scimmia di tipo Rhesus che veniva sottoposta a sorveglianza per la febbre gialla. Questo ciclo, che comprende specie animali di riserva, viene detto silvestre.
Gli arbovirus possono avere anche un ciclo urbano, quando non esistono animali di riserva ed ? richiesta solo una elevata densit? di popolazione per mantenerlo attivo.
In questo articolo viene rivelata l' esistenza di specie di primati sudamericani ( nello stato di Cear?) in cui ? stato trovato il virus che mostra caratteristiche del tutto sovrapponibili a quello umano.
