Abstract excerpt
Tembusu virus (TMUV) is a flavivirus responsible for panzootic outbreaks of severe egg-drop and fatal encephalitis of domestic waterfowl in China. Although TMUV can be attenuated by in vitro passaging, experimental evidence supporting the role of specific genetic changes in virulence attenuation is currently lacking. Here, we performed site-directed mutagenesis on five envelope (E) protein amino acid residues in...
