Cross-reactive in HI tests with other viruses of Casals' Group B [7] .
Sometimes cross-reactive in NT with West Nile and dengue 1 [8] , but easily differentiated from them [3] .
Immunologically closer to Uganda S and yellow fever than to several other Group B viruses [6] .
People with pre-existing Zika CF antibody do not respond to 17D yellow fever scratch vaccine in the same way as those without [22] .
In an extensive cross-neutralization study involving 42 flaviviruses, Zika virus was placed in a subgroup or complex with Spondweni and "Chuku" viruses [14] . In a subsequent cross-neutralization study involving 65 viruses, Zika virus could not be placed in any complex [32] .
