The Diversification of Zika Virus: Are There Two Distinct Lineages?

Genome biology and evolution - 1 Nov 2017

Gong Zhen, Xu Xiaoyu, Han Guan-Zhu

Abstract excerpt

Zika virus (ZIKV) has caused explosive epidemics in the Pacific and the Americas, posing a serious threat to public health. Conventional opinion advocates that ZIKV evolved into two distinct lineages, namely, African and Asian. Descendants of this latter lineage dispersed globally causing major epidemics. However, based on shared amino acid replacements and phylogenetic analyses, it was recently contentiously...
