Ganciclovir has no effect on ZIKV-induced apoptosis and cell death. (A–D) Vero cells were infected with ZIKV at an MOI of 5 × 10−4 or MOI of 5 × 10−5. After 1 h adsorption, 2% methylcellulose containing ganciclovir were layered on the cells. Cells were incubated for 4 days, fixed in 10% formalin, stained with methylene blue, and photographed (A, C). Data are representative of four (A) or three (C) independent experiments. Relative plaque numbers to untreated control were graphed (B, D). Data represent mean values ± S.D. of four (A) or three (D) independent experiments.
