“…ZIKV-specific CD8 T cells are described in multiple species ( Elong Ngono et al, 2017 ; Grifoni et al, 2018 ; Huang et al, 2017 ; Pardy et al, 2017 ) and may be important for viral clearance in mouse models. CD8 T cells have active roles in controlling infections caused by other flaviviruses including West Nile virus ( Grifoni et al, 2018 ; Klein et al, 2005 ; Shrestha and Diamond, 2004 ; Shrestha et al, 2006 ; Wang et al, 2003 , 2006 ), DENV ( de Alwis et al, 2016 ; Lam et al, 2017 ; Regla-Nava et al, 2018 ; Rivino and Lim, 2017 ; Shi et al, 2015 ; Yauch et al, 2009 ), and yellow fever virus ( Akondy et al, 2009 ; Bassi et al, 2015 ; Co et al, 2009 ; Nogueira et al, 2013 ), which, given their relatedness, implies that CD8 T cells may be similarly important in limiting ZIKV infection.…”
