Abstract

A biological sample, for example blood, serum, or plasma, is evaluated for the presence of anti-Zika virus (ZIKV) IgM- and IgG antibodies specific for ZIKV nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) by measuring the signal intensities of such antibodies in an immunoassay of the sample. Subjects are scored as being positive or negative for ZIKV infection based on the combined results of such determinations.
