*RT-PCR, reverse transcription–PCR; ZIKV, Zika virus; Ct, crossing threshold; +, positive.
†Ct values with primer set 835/911c/860-FAM or 1086/1162c/1107-FAM. Values <38.5 are positive.
‡Estimated by testing quantitated dilutions of ZIKV RNA transcripts and standard curve calculation generated by the iCycler instrument (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA; see Methods).
