2017, Japanese journal of infectious diseases
Outbreaks of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in tropical and subtropical regions are cause of worldwide concern and represents a public health emergency. ZIKV was isolated from a 17-year-old patient with fever and maculopapular rash. The patient returned to Japan from the Republic of Fiji in late April 2016. The complete genome sequence of the ZIKV isolate, ZIKV/Hu/S36/Chiba/2016, which might be the first strain to be isolated in Japan, was determined and reported.
