<span>Zika virus is a member of the Flaviviridae family and is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. It is related to other pathogenic vector borne flaviviruses including dengue, West-Nile and Japanese encephalitis viruses but produces a comparatively mild disease in humans. Since 2007 Zika virus has caused several outbreaks in the Pacific, and since 2015 it further spread in the Americas. These were the first documented transmissions outside of its traditional endemic areas in Africa and Asia. Zika virus is considered an emerging infectious disease with the potential to spread to new areas where the Aedes mosquito vector is present. There is no evidence of transmission Zika virus in Europe to date </span>
Some of the reasons for using a zone defense are: The opposing team has a player/players too quick (in the case of guards) or too big (in the case of forwards or centers) for a man-to-man defense to be effective. Many zones pack defenders in the lane but allow the offensive team to take long-range shots
