Positively Charged Amino Acid Substitutions in the E2 Envelope Glycoprotein Are Associated with the Emergence of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus
15 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Epidemic-epizootic Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) viruses (VEEV) have emerged repeatedly via convergent evolution from enzootic predecessors. However, previous sequence analyses have failed to identify common sets of nucleotide or amino acid substitutions associated with all emergence events. During 1993 and 1996, VEEV subtype IE epizootics occurred on the Pacific Coast of the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca...
