Zika virus infection is the big present infectious threat.[1],[2] The exact pathophysiology of this infection needs further researches to clarify. Here, the authors report the observation on reactome analysis on the available Zika virus gene in database PubMED. The two available genes of Zika virus (ID: 7751225 and ID: 7751864) are used for reactome analysis using standard bioinformatics tool on Reactome Databse (www.reactome.org).[3],[4] Of interest, according to this analysis, there is no function of the genes in human beings. This implies that the studied Zika virus genes do not contribute any reactive pathway in human hosts. The pathology due to the virus should be due to the presently unidentified genes of the virus or immunopathology due to host reaction.
