Zika outbreak started in Brazil in the spring of 2015. Zika virus is transmitted by infected Aedes species mosquito and produces no visible effects on adults while the disease is very dangerous for pregnant women causing severe brain damage to unborn babies.
In June, Russian Healthcare Minister Veronika Skvortsova said the country had finished pre-clinical studies of drugs for the treatment of the Zika infection and were moving to the clinical trials.
