The Zika virus in Brazil is often portrayed as emerging in and more severely inflicting the country’s impoverished coastal urban areas. However, the virus also impacted residents in wealthier and more rural areas. To understand how the Zika virus moved to seemingly less likely places, I bring political ecological approaches to health and disease into conversation with scholarly accounts of metabolic rifts. Making an incorporated comparison of the ways in which global finance and the Brazilian state shaped the relationship between urban and rural areas, I demonstrate how the era of modernist urban industrialisation resulted in the creation of more traditional spaces of Zika emergence in the country’s urban impoverished areas and the shift towards neoliberal agricultural extractivism resulted in the creation of seemingly more unusual spaces of Zika emergence in the wealthier less populated interior.

人们通常将巴西的寨卡病毒描述为正在出现，并给该国贫困的沿海城市地区造成了更为严重的影响。但是，该病毒还影响了较富裕和更多农村地区的居民。为了了解寨卡病毒是如何转移到看似不太可能发生的地方的，我将有关健康和疾病的政治生态学方法与新陈代谢裂痕的学术论述进行了讨论。对全球金融和巴西国家塑造城乡关系的方式进行了综合比较，
