Actively replicating RNA viruses in nature are continually changing their genetic information by spontaneous mutations. These changes often result in alterations in immune-sensitivity, drug-sensitivity, cell-tropism, and host-range, causing uncontrollability of the pathogen and emerging/re-emerging infections. To better understand the virus changes and develop effective methods to control the moving targets, it...
