The use of serological tests is valuable to diagnose Zika virus (ZIKV) infection and carry out epidemiological surveillance. However, ZIKV serological tests may result in false positives due to cross-reactivity between antibodies against other Flavivirus, especially dengue virus that worldwide disseminated. We used three online tools to predict amino acid sequences of B-cell epitopes. We selected and synthetized two epitopes that showed appropriate features in the molecular dynamic simulation and demonstrated to be suitable for serological assays.
