    摘要: The compositions and methods are described for generating an immune response to a flavivirus such as Zika virus. The compositions and methods described herein relate to a modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vector encoding one or more viral antigens for generating a protective immune response to a member of genus Flavivirus (such as a member of species Zika virus), in the subject to which the vector is administered. The compositions and methods of the present invention are useful both prophylactically and therapeutically and may be used to prevent and/or treat an infection caused by Flavivirus.
