“…The 10.8 kb genome of ZIKV encodes a single polyprotein that, upon action of host and viral proteases, forms three structural proteins (C, PrM, and E) and seven nonstructural proteins (NS1-5 NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, and NS5) (Ye et al, 2016). Numerous approaches are being employed to develop live attenuated virus (Shan et al, 2017), inactivated whole virus (Sumathy et al, 2017), subunit DNA/RNA vaccines (Pardi et al, 2017;To et al, 2018), virus like particles (Espinosa et al, 2018;Salvo et al, 2018), over virus vectored (Xu et al, 2018), and chimeric ZIKV (Kum et al, 2018;Li et al, 2018) vaccines pertaining to several benefits including economical and long-term immunity. But only a few of them have generated appropriate prophylactic responses in tested in vivo models.…”
