Following the recent Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak in the Americas, a major question that has arisen is how dengue virus (DENV) immunity impacts Zika virus infection and disease. A recent study (Rodriguez-Barraquer, I. et al. Science 2019;363:607-610) shows that DENV immunity is, for the most part, protective against ZIKV, but exceptions may exist.
