RNA recombination at Chikungunya virus 3'UTR as an evolutionary mechanism that provides adaptability
15 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
The potential of RNA viruses to adapt to new environments relies on their ability to introduce changes in their genomes, which has resulted in the recent expansion of re-emergent viruses. Chikungunya virus is an important human pathogen transmitted by mosquitoes that, after 60 years of exclusive circulation in Asia and Africa, has rapidly spread in Europe and the Americas. Here, we examined the evolution of CHIKV...
