| description | Background: In 2016 Zika virus infection became an international public health emergency concern.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and practice of midwives regarding the Zika virus.
Methods: This research was an analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. A total of samples was 191 selected using a proportional random sampling technique. WHO questionnaire was used to collect data on knowledge and practice related to the Zika virus and a set of explanatory variables.
