Abstract excerpt
Adaptation through fixation of spontaneous mutations in the viral genome is considered to be one of the important factors that enable recurrent West Nile virus (WNV) outbreaks in the U.S. Genetic variations can alter viral phenotype and virulence, and degrade the performance of diagnostic and screening assays, vaccines, and potential therapeutic agents. A microarray assay was developed and optimized for the...
