Abstract excerpt
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a reemerging arthropod-borne alphavirus and a serious threat to human health. Therefore, efforts toward elucidating how this virus causes disease and the molecular mechanisms underlying steps of the viral replication cycle are crucial. Using an in vivo transmission system that allows intrahost evolution, we identified an emerging CHIKV variant carrying a mutation in the E1...
