Specific detection of dengue and Zika virus antibodies using envelope proteins with mutations in the conserved fusion loop
1 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
Detection of antibodies is widely used for the diagnosis of infections with arthropod-borne flaviviruses including dengue (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV). Due to the emergence of ZIKV in areas endemic for DENV, massive co-circulation is observed and methods to specifically diagnose these infections and differentiate them from each other are mandatory. However, serological assays for flaviviruses in general, and for...
