NIAID is working with its partners in government, academia, and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to better understand Zika virus, the disease it causes, and ways to combat it. Specifically, NIAID is accelerating research in areas such as the natural history of the disease, basic research on the Zika virus, how it causes disease (called pathogenesis), diagnostics to rapidly determine if someone is or has been infected with Zika and to distinguish from other flaviviruses, as well as treatments and vaccines.
