Abstract excerpt
An Asian Zika virus (ZIKV) isolated from a Thai patient that was serially passaged in Primary Dog Kidney (PDK) cells for attenuation displayed both big and small plaque-forming viruses by the 7th passage. Two small-plaque isolates were selected and purified for characterization as attenuated ZIKV candidates. In vitro growth kinetics showed significantly reduced titers for small-plaque isolates in Vero cells early...
