ZIKA FOREST UGANDA

The virus was first isolated in April 1947 from a rhesus macaque monkey placed in a cage in the Ziika Forest of Uganda, near Lake Victoria, by the scientists of the Yellow Fever Research Institute. A second isolation from the mosquito A. africanus followed at the same site in January 1948.[78] When the monkey developed a fever, researchers isolated from its serum a “filterable transmissible agent” which was named Zika in 1948.
