Abstract excerpt
Frequent turnover of dengue virus (DENV) clades is one of the major forces driving DENV persistence and prevalence. In this study, we assess the fitness advantage of nine stable substitutions within the envelope (E) protein of DENV serotypes. Two tandem neighboring substitutions, threonine to lysine at the 226th (T226K) and glycine to glutamic acid at the 228th (G228E) residues in the DENV2 Asian I genotype,...
