Emergency and permanence of the Zika virus epidemic: an agenda connecting research and policy

Abstract

Recently, the Zika virus epidemic has caused a setting of health emergency in Brazil. This event has mobilized several stakeholders to look at this reality -where women, men and children born with the marks of these diagnoses are differently affected -as one with vectors, illnesses and obscure diagnosis situations. Recalling this recent memory means summoning the political realms to demand the commitment to the health of the population in contexts of health emergencies and their repercussions in the daily life.
