Résumé

outbreaks vector-borne infections viruses Zika Zika virus microcephaly high-risk pregnancy Gabon febrile illnesses Africa Aedes albopictus
Although Zika virus (ZIKV) circulates in sub-Saharan Africa, no case of ZIKV-associated microcephaly has thus far been reported. Here, we report evidence of a possible association between a 2007 outbreak of febrile illness and an increase in microcephaly and possibly ZIKV infection in Gabon.
