Farah Ishtiaq 1, * India has the climatic conditions conducive to year-round transmission of Zika virus, and a structured disease surveillance program should be implemented to prevent an outbreak. In fact, India is an ideal place to explore the coevolutionary dynamics of this host-parasite system because of several factors: (i) the high volume of human movements [5] , (ii) the apparent immunity to Zika from circulating strains of the virus [1] , and (iii) the possibility of transmission in less immunocompetent hosts, such as pregnant women and the elderly viii , and (iv) adults with a prior history of malaria or dengue infections, which may help facilitate transmission and pathogenesis of Zika, potentially resulting in a positive feedback loop [12] . ./cache/cord-288703-wdh1jiry.txt ./txt/cord-288703-wdh1jiry.txt
