Just an addition since KU955594 was not found in the paper. Literature search suggests that the probable zika strain used to detect seropositivity in India back in 1954 was Zika virus/M.mulatta-tc/UGA/1947/MR-766 (KU955594). Supporting literature is here http://www.jimmunol.org/content/jimmunol/72/4/248.full.pdf http://www.jimmunol.org/content/jimmunol/68/4/461.full.pdf http://www.jimmunol.org/content/jimmunol/68/4/441.full.pdf BLAST results indicate 86-89% identity at nucleotide level of Zika virus/M.mulatta-tc/UGA/1947/MR-766 to Indian strains gb|MF173409, gb|MF173410, gb|MF173411 whereas protein identity is patchy ranging from 81-100% in some regions.
