Dengue virus prevalence and neutralization among participants in case–control study of cross-protection of dengue virus infection against congenital Zika syndrome, northeastern Brazil. A) Serotype-specific DENV seroprevalence in cases and controls. Statistical significance was calculated by χ2 test. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001; ****p<0.0001. B) Multitypic DENV neutralization in cases and controls. Statistical significance for the numbers of neutralized DENV serotypes was calculated
