Comparative genome analysis between Southeast Asian and South American Zika viruses

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To understand the cause for the differences between potentially mild Southeast Asian and the more pathogenic ZIKV in South America. METHODS: A comparative genomic analysis was performed to determine putative causations stemming from ZIKV. RESULTS: Phylogenetic analyses integrating geographical and time factors revealed that Southeast Asian ZIKV might not be the direct source of South American outbreaks...
