Highlights

  • ZIKV preferentially infects glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) rather than neural precursor cells

  • ZIKV kills SOX2 + cells from a diverse array of malignant brain tumors

  • SOX2 determines susceptibility to ZIKV infection with reduced antiviral responses

  • Integrin α vβ 5 is a GSC marker and promotes Zika virus infection of GSCs
