The ZIKV research field was driven by public interest
The comparison of publication numbers is a way to observe an active/inactive stage of the research area. So, we compared the number of ZIKV related publications to follow the movement of research in the last five years.
In 2014–2015, the average number of ZIKV related publications was 23.5 and the number then increased rapidly in 2016–2018 (39.2, 56.5, and 58.5 times, respectively). The conceivable reason behind this rapid increment of publication is an accumulation of the public interest after the Brazilian authority publicized the first report of autochthonous transmission of ZIKV in 2015 and the association with new clinical manifestations such as congenital Zika syndrome and Guillain-Barré syndrome. That propelled ZIKV research to a subject of international concern and led to efforts to better understand ZIKV and suggest measures to liberate the world from the ZIKV emergency declared by WHO (Fig. 1).
Martinez-Pulgarin et al, (2016) previously showed that only 325 ZIKV related publications were found during over six decades, inferring that research on ZIKV was at a very low level until 2015 (29). We could see that the publication number was increased tremendously in the consecutive three years (average number = 1209.3 publications/year).
This result showed how the research on ZIKV was changed to a highly active stage after the emergence of ZIKV in the Americas (Fig. 1). In addition, the declaration of a public health emergency by WHO did not only bring public interest to ZIKV research but also increment of funding opportunities for researchers (described in the timeline of ZIKV in Fig. 1). We could observe that the public interest in emerging diseases leads to increased funding, which then results in a surge of publications in the research field.
The ZIKV research field moved from epidemiological research to the development of clinical applications
We decided to categorize ZIKV related publications to eight different research fields (antiviral research, vaccine development, fundamental research, diagnostic research, experimental models and tools, vector research, epidemiological research, clinical management/public communication) to follow the trend of ZIKV research fields in the last five years.
In antiviral and vaccine research, the first publications appeared from 2016 and increased thereafter. Research regarding diagnostic research and experimental models/tools started to expand from 2015 and increased every year. Vector research and epidemiology research was present for the five years studied, but the number of publications increased dramatically from 2016. The publications regarding fundamental research and clinical management/public communication also increased during the five years, except in 2018 (Fig. 2A).
Next, we generated pie charts to follow the change in frequency between the different fields of research. Vaccine development appeared in 2016 (3.8%) and steadily increased until 2018 (6.5%). Antiviral research almost doubled from 2016 (4.1%) to 2017–2018 (8.2% and 7.8%). Vector research was the second-largest field of ZIKV research in 2014 (17.6%), decreased in 2015 (4.55%), but then increased continuously until 2018 (12.2%). The frequency of fundamental research was above 20% in most years, except 2015 (18.2%). On the other hand, epidemiological research was the major field in 2014 (58.8%), but it decreased gradually to 24.2% in 2018. The clinical management and public communications research fields also gradually decreased from 2016 (24.7%) to 2018 (12.3%) (Fig. 2B).
Also, we extracted the 20 most cited articles in an attempt to determine which articles were influential in ZIKV research, based on the respective research field. The result showed that mainly case reports were the most cited in 2014. In 2015, case reports, diagnostic methods, epidemiological studies, and potential sexual transmission of ZIKV were the most cited. In 2016, the articles regarding the association between ZIKV infection new clinical manifestation such as microcephaly and Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and the development of ZIKV animal models were highly cited. Studies of the ZIKV vaccine, ZIKV antiviral treatment, and understanding of ZIKV pathogenicity and tropism were most cited in 2017. In 2018, articles regarding viral persistence, and diagnostic approaches using advanced techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR associated protein 9) and graphene, as well as vaccine development, and real-time surveillance system were most cited (Table 1).

Overall, the trend of ZIKV research was shifted from epidemiological research to the development of clinical applications (e.g. advanced diagnostic techniques, antiviral treatment, vaccine) during the five years.
The geographic distribution of ZIKV publications points to the globalization of ZIKV research.
We assumed that the corresponding author is usually the author who provides the intellectual input and approves protocols in the study. The corresponding author’s country was noted, extracted from the publications, and sorted to generate the geographical distribution and number of publications in different countries during 2014–2018.
In 2014 and 2015, we retrieved ZIKV publications from 11 and 13 different countries, respectively. The number of countries with ZIKV publications increased to 59, 67, and 66 in the consecutive three years. The result showed that ZIKV research became global after 2015. USA showed the highest number of corresponding authors in ZIKV research publications for the whole period 2014–2018. The next countries were Brazil, China, France, and the United Kingdom, making up the top 5 countries in ZIKV research publications from 2016 to 2018 (Fig. 3). We found a similar pattern for the top 20 authors for ZIKV related publications, where the USA showed the highest number of authors (13/20), followed by Brazil, China, France (all 2/20), and Germany (1/20) (Table 2). The average number of publication numbers from the top 20 relevant authors was 28.65 (rank no.1 was 41 articles by Weaver SC, University of Texas Medical Branch, USA).
