Abstract excerpt
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an Aedes mosquitoes-transmitted flavivirus, and its infection may cause severe neurological diseases. A genetically stable infectious clone is essential for ZIKV research, however the toxicity and instability of the viral cDNA in bacteria potentially due to its bacterial promoter activity are major challenges. Here, we constructed a full-length cDNA clone for isolate ZG01 by introducing...
