ZIKV RNA load in patient’s body fluids and clinical isolates on culture. The graph shows the viral load (genome copies/mL) versus excretion time (days after symptoms onset) of the weekly collection of urine (orange), saliva (green) and serum (red) samples from patients ZIKV01 (A), ZIKV17 (B), ZIKV18 (C) and ZIKV19 (D), in addition to the semen (blue) of the two men involved in the study (C,D). To confirm the viability of the excreted virus, the urine samples collected from days 18 and 25 after symptoms, saliva from day 25 and the semen from days 18, 25, 32, 53 and 117 for patient ZIKV17 and semen samples from patient ZIKV19 from days 19, 26 and 40 after symptoms onset were tested and the ones with positive results in cell culture are exhibited. All clinical samples and isolated samples were analyzed by qRT-PCR.
