Abstract excerpt
Immune pressure can select for escape mutants that can become epidemiologically relevant. Thus, surveillance of recombinants and positively selected mutants of the dengue virus (DENV) are vital for preventing and controlling the dengue fever outbreak. However, little is known about recombinants and positively selected mutants of circulating DENV strains in mainland China. In this study, those variants with...
