Fig 2. Detection of genomic RNA of Zika virus in urine and saliva samples by RT-PCR analysis.
(A) Shows the profiles obtained from urine samples. The lane numbers indicate the patient code. The lane 1I is the amplicon obtained from the viral isolate from urine of patient 1 (isolate Rio-U1). (B) RT-PCR analysis from patients 5 to 9 where S indicates saliva RNA samples, U, urine RNA samples, and I viral isolate sample. (C) Amplification of Zika virus genome of isolate Rio-U1 (1I) with ZIKV-specific primers that were also employed in the RT-PCR assay of Chikungunya virus RNA (CHIKV), dengue virus RNA (DENV) and Yellow Fever 17DD RNA (YFV). In all of these analyses, a negative control of amplification were included (C). The size marker migration is indicated on the left of the figures.
