Description
Summary:Cardinally, the most cited article specifically addressing Zika in the literature has received 60 citations in Scopus and 54 at SCI, which along with our findings through network analysis (Fig. 1), clearly reveal the imperative need to increase international cooperation in order to overcome the current weakness prevailing in Zika research networks. [...]as mentioned previously, it is time to translate those research findings generated over the past decade into plausible and effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches aimed at controlling tropical viruses with epidemic potential [4] and to prioritize major interventions directed to reduce and control the negative impacts of infectious diseases such as those caused by Zika virus.
