Abstract excerpt
Dengue virus (DENV) is an arbovirus whose transmission cycle involves disparate hosts: humans and mosquitoes. The error-prone nature of viral RNA replication drives the high mutation rates, and the consequently high genetic diversity affects viral fitness over this transmission cycle. A few studies have been performed to investigate the intrahost genetic diversity between hosts, although their mosquito infections...
