Antiviral drugs are not relevant to Zika as there have been no effective drugs against it (so far). I would also suppose that unless the antivirals article mentioned Zika at some point in the future, it wouldn't really belong within the Zika template.

It's all in flux, but given that a number of drugs are effective or being tested against related viruses, there may well be some that are effective against Zika in some way, as per doi:10.1111/trf.13271 or doi:10.12688/f1000research.8013.1 or doi:10.3760/cma.j.issn.2095-4352.2016.02.005 or doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.2753080.v1. -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 07:49, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
