Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Infection of Rhesus Macaques Results in Delayed Zika Virus Clearance

ABSTRACT Flaviviruses are controlled by adaptive immune responses but are exquisitely sensitive to interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). How coinfections, particularly simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs), that induce robust ISG signatures influence flavivirus clearance and pathogenesis is unclear....
