There are many similarities in molecular and epidemic characteristics of Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) and many researchers have taken studies on DENV-induced epidemics as references to construct prediction model for ZIKV epidemic. Comprehensive comparisons on similarities and differences in hosts, transmission routes, and susceptible populations between ZIKV and DENV are important for exploring the relationship of the two types of virus. We reviewed relevant studies on the two virus and analyzed the prevalence of ZIKV and DENV epidemics in Guangdong province for providing evidences for prevention and control of ZIKV epidemic
【摘 要】寨卡病毒（ZIKV）和登革病毒（DENV）在分子结构和流行特征方面具有很多相似性，登革热疫情现在已经作为很多模型预测寨卡流行的参考。全面综合和对比 ZIKV 和 DENV 在宿主、传播途径、易感人群方面的异同，对了解 2 者的关系有重要意义。同时结合广东省登革热疫情、寨卡疫情，分析 2 者在广东省的流行情况，为防控提供参考意见。
