Stem-Loop I of the Tembusu Virus 3′-Untranslated Region Is Responsible for Viral Host-Specific Adaptation and the Pathogenicity of the Virus in Mice

Abstract excerpt
Mosquito-borne flaviviruses (MBFVs) constitute a large number of mosquito-transmitted viruses. The 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of MBFV has been suggested to be relevant to viral host-specific adaptation. However, the evolutionary strategies for host-specific fitness among MBFV are different, and the virulence-related structures within the 3'UTR are largely unknown. Here, using Tembusu virus (TMUV), an avian...
