DENV-2 and ZIKV replicated in chicken embryos. (A,B) q-PCR standard curve for DENV-2 (A) and ZIKV (B). By using a series of diluted DENV-2 (A) or ZIKV (B) stock as standards, a formula was deduced for tissue viral load calculation. (C) The viral load of DENV-2 in various organs in chicken embryos. The chicken embryos were inoculated with 104 PFU DENV-2 and samples were collected at 7 and 11 dpi, respectively. Viral RNA was extracted and quantified with qPCR. The tissue viral load was calculated with the deduced formula and expressed as PFUeq/ml. (D) The viral load of ZIKV in various organs in chicken embryos. The chicken embryos were inoculated with five PFU and 50 PFU ZIKV, and samples were collected at 7 and 11 dpi, respectively. Viral RNA was extracted and quantified with qPCR. The tissue viral loads were calculated with the deduced formula and expressed as PFUeq/ml. n = 3, P < 0.05. ∗∗P < 0.01.
