Cell surface molecules of potential importance for ZIKV infection include the C-type lectin receptors CD209 (DC-SIGN), CLEC5a and mannose receptor (MR) and the phosphatidyl serine receptors T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain (TIM)-1 and TAM receptors Tyro3 and AXL42–45. Here, TYRO3 is linked to Zika virus infectious disease.
