Lack of serological and molecular evidences of Zika virus circulation in non-human primates in three states from Brazil

Continuing development of vaccines and monoclonal antibodies against Zika virus

“…Brazil continues to see human cases, including some acute ZIKV disease, suggesting that the virus continues to have low-level circulation 11 . However, the full picture of ZIKV's maintenance and circulation in Brazil remains to be elucidated as non-human primate and mosquito surveillance has sometimes shown discordant results (i.e., evidence of Zika infection or maintenance in either non-human primates or mosquitos, but not both populations in the same time or space) and is largely incomplete in many states [12][13][14] . More research is needed to explain ZIKV's maintenance and circulation across many geographical regions.…”
