Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Many flaviviruses are significant human pathogens that cause global public health threats. Developing research tools for studying and diagnosing these pathogens is a top priority. Reporter flaviviruses are useful tools for studying viral pathogenesis, diagnosing disease, and screening antiviral compounds. However, the stability of reporter flaviviruses has been challenged by viral RNA recombination,...
