Complete-Genome Phylogenetic Approach to Varicella-Zoster Virus Evolution: Genetic Divergence and Evidence for Recombination
14 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA sequence variation, involving large numbers of globally distributed clinical isolates, suggest that this virus has diverged into at least three distinct genotypes designated European (E), Japanese (J), and mosaic (M). In the present study, we determined and analyzed the complete genomic sequences of two M VZV strains and compared them to the sequences of three E...
