Confirmation of infection remains challenging due to the disease\u2019s predominantly asymptomatic or mild nature. While real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is the gold standard, its use in clinical settings and surveillance is limited. Serological point-of-care tests offer alternatives but pose interpretation challenges in Flavivirus-endemic regions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We conducted a prospective cohort of 199 pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic at Rajavithi Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand, in 2021\u20132022 to describe the incidence of ZIKV serologic responses detected by a rapid test and associated pregnancy outcomes. Participants were monitored using the DPP ZCD IgM\/IgG (Zika\/Chikungunya\/Dengue IgM\/IgG) System rapid immunochromatography test (Chembio), with RT-qPCR and plaque reduction neutralization testing performed for further assessment. A ZIKV serologic response was defined as a reactive ZIKV immunoglobulin M (IgM) result at enrollment or seroconversion from non-reactive to reactive ZIKV IgM or IgG between study visits. The DPP ZCD rapid test revealed incident ZIKV-reactive serologic responses at 15.4 per 100 person-years, with all affected participants being asymptomatic. All RT-qPCR results were negative, and participants with ZIKV IgG seroconversion had neutralizing antibodies against ZIKV and all 4 Dengue virus (DENV) serotypes. A prior history of DENV infection was associated with increased odds of ZIKV-reactive serologic response (OR 3.53,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      value 0.046).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective study identified serologic responses detected by a ZIKV-reactive rapid test among pregnant women in Thailand. In a highly dengue-immune setting, these responses could reflect true ZIKV exposure, DENV reinfection, flavivirus immune boosting, or serologic cross-reactivity, and therefore cannot be attributed specifically to ZIKV. Rapid serologic testing may support screening and surveillance but cannot establish ZIKV infection or ZIKV-specific exposure without careful interpretation and additional testing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0014805","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,15]],"date-time":"2026-10-15T17:48:25Z","timestamp":1792086505000},"page":"e0014805","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pntd.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Zika virus serologic responses during pregnancy in a dengue-endemic setting: A prospective cohort study in Thailand"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8254-7066","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Salin","family":"Sirinam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mahidol University","place":["Bangkok, Thailand"],"department":["Department of Tropical Pediatrics, Faculty of Tropical Medicine"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dennopporn","family":"Sudjai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Public Health","place":["Bangkok, Thailand"],"department":["Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Rajavithi Hospital"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Supawat","family":"Chatchen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mahidol University","place":["Bangkok, Thailand"],"department":["Department of Tropical Pediatrics, Faculty of Tropical Medicine"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Watcharee","family":"Arunsodsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mahidol University","place":["Bangkok, Thailand"],"department":["Department of Tropical Pediatrics, Faculty of Tropical Medicine"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weerawan","family":"Hattasingh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mahidol University","place":["Bangkok, Thailand"],"department":["Department of Tropical Pediatrics, Faculty of Tropical Medicine"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Pezzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inserm-IRBA","place":["Marseille, France"],"department":["National Reference Center for Arboviruses"]},{"name":"UVE, Aix-Marseille University, Universit\u00e0 di Corsica, IRD 190, Inserm 1207, IRBA","place":["Marseille, France"],"department":["Unit\u00e9 des Virus \u00c9mergents"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Jaenisch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Colorado","place":["Aurora, Colorado, United States of America"],"department":["Center for Global Health, Colorado School of Public Health"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"May","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Colorado","place":["Aurora, Colorado, United States of America"],"department":["Center for Global Health, Colorado School of Public Health"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thitiya","family":"Yakasaem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mahidol University","place":["Bangkok, Thailand"],"department":["Department of Tropical Pediatrics, Faculty of Tropical Medicine"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2990-6530","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kriengsak","family":"Limkittikul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mahidol University","place":["Bangkok, Thailand"],"department":["Department of Tropical Pediatrics, Faculty of Tropical Medicine"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"pntd.0014805.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"509","DOI":"10.1016\/0035-9203(52)90042-4","article-title":"Zika virus.
