    (Public Library of Science, 2018) Paola Mariela Saba Villarroel; Elif Nurtop; Boris Pastorino; Yelin Roca; Jan Felix Drexler; Pierre Gallian; Thomas Jaenisch; Isabelle Leparc-Goffart; Stéphane Priet; Läétitia Ninove
    Analysis revealed that ZIKV circulation occurred in tropical areas (Beni: 39%; Santa Cruz de la Sierra: 21.5%) but not in highlands (~0% in Cochabamba, La Paz, Tarija). It was modulated by Aedes aegypti activity and the virus spread was not limited by previous immunity to dengue. Cases were geo-localised in a wide range of urban areas in Santa Cruz and Trinidad. No differences in seroprevalence related to gender or age-groups could be identified. It is concluded that ZIKV has been intensely circulating in the Beni region and has still a significant potential for propagating in the area of Santa Cruz.
