Evaluating Zika Virus Pathogenesis in Immunocompromised Mice.

: Mouse models of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, which recapitulate certain aspects of ZIKV infection in humans, have demonstrated their utility for studying ZIKV pathogenesis and for the initial screening of antivirals, experimental therapeutics, and candidate vaccines for protective efficacy against ZIKV infection. In this chapter we outline the available mouse models and describe the evaluation of ZIKV pathogenesis in an immunocompromised mouse model of ZIKV infection.
