A nucleic acid molecule encoding a synthetic antibody comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein having at least about 95% identity over an entire length of the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:68; (b) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:70; (c) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:72; (d) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:74; (e) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:76; (f) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:78; and (g) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:66. 4. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 3 , wherein the nucleic acid encodes a protein having the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:68; (b) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:70; (c) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:72; (d) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:74; (e) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:76; an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:78; and (g) an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:66. 5. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid sequence encodes a light chain polypeptide, a heavy chain polypeptide, both a light chain polypeptide and a heavy chain polypeptide, or fragments thereof. 6. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 5 , wherein when the nucleic acid sequence encodes a light chain polypeptide and a heavy chain polypeptide, the nucleic acid sequence also encodes a protease cleavage site. 7. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 6 , wherein the protease cleavage site is located between the light chain polypeptide and the heavy chain polypeptide and wherein the protease cleavage site includes a furin cleavage site and 2A peptide sequence. 8. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid molecule further encodes an immunoglobulin (Ig) signal peptide. 9. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 8 , wherein the Ig signal peptide comprises an IgE signal peptide. 10. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid molecule comprises an expression vector. 11. A composition comprising the nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 . 12. The composition of claim 11 further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. 13. A method of preventing a disease in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering the nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 . 14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the disease is infection by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) or Dengue virus (DENV). 15. The method of claim 14 , wherein when the disease is infection by CHIKV, the nucleic acid sequence is the nucleic acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:65. 16.
