Abstract

Flavivirus are the most alarming prevalent viruses worldwide due to its vast impact on public health. Most early symptoms of diseases caused by Flavivirus are similar among each other and to other febrile illnesses making the clinical differential diagnosis challenging. In addition, due to cross-reactivity and a relatively limited persistence of viral RNA in infected individuals, the current available diagnosis strategies fail to efficiently provide a differential viral identification. In this context, virus-specific tests are essential to improve patient care, as well as to facilitate disease surveillance and the effective control of transmission. Here, we describe the use of protein microarrays as an effective tool for screening peptides differentially recognized by anti-Yellow Fever virus antibodies induced by vaccination or by natural viral infection.

Keywords: Differential diagnosis; Flavivirus; Peptide microarray; Yellow Fever virus..
