Abstract

This year is an important time for Zika infection and therapeutic studies. Zika therapy is an emerging medical challenge since the noticing of Zika as a transmission vehicle. Currently, Zika therapeutic options are very limited. According togenera l protocols of antiviral drug development, it needs long procedures of drug evaluations and a great sum of money. Due to this limitation, a new way of Zika treatments by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is suggested. TCM can be utilized at any times and less costs for large human populations. We hope this strategy will help Zika epidemic control worldwide.
