Abstract

Salazar et al. show that SPOV, the flavivirus most closely related to ZIKV, infects mice when type I interferon signaling is blocked. SPOV causes ankle swelling and infection in the foot, which is more typical of alphaviruses. Human antibodies from ZIKV or DENV subjects protect against lethal SPOV challenge.
