The Relationship between the Structure of the Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Strains and Their Pathogenic Properties
16 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is transmitted to vertebrates by taiga or forest ticks through bites, inducing disease of variable severity. The reasons underlying these differences in the severity of the disease are unknown. In order to identify genetic factors affecting the pathogenicity of virus strains, we have sequenced and compared the complete genomes of 34 Far-Eastern subtype (FE) TBEV strains...
