Modelling the impact of antibody-dependent enhancement on disease severity of Zika virus and dengue virus sequential and co-infection

Human infections with viruses of the genus Flavivirus , including dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV), are of increasing global importance. Owing to antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), secondary infection with one Flavivirus following primary infection with another Flavivirus can result in a significantly larger peak viral load with a much higher risk of severe disease. Although several mathematical models have been developed to quantify...
