The sentences
By days 6 and 7 p.i., there was no viral RNA detection in the DENV-middle convalescent group, while DENV 3M animals showed a trend towards an intermittent viremia and most of the naïve animals still had detectable viral RNA.
From days 2 to 7 p.i., animals exposed to DENV 12 months before ZIKV infection had a consistently higher expression of IFNγ compared to naïve animals although this difference did not reach statistical significance ( S8B Fig ).
Moreover, by day 30 p.i., DENV-middle convalescent animals showed a strong trend of having higher levels of anti-DENV IgG compared to the DENV-early convalescent animals, although no statistical significance was reached.
