Intrahost population dynamics of chikungunya virus in humans and naturally infected Aedes mosquitoes reveal transmission-driven diversity
22 Dec 2025
Abstract excerpt
RNA viruses exhibit a high mutation rate, contributing to their genetic diversity mainly because their RNA polymerase lacks proofreading ability. Arboviruses, which alternate between vertebrate and invertebrate hosts, are subjected to host-specific selective pressures and population bottlenecks, mainly within mosquito vectors. Although experimental studies have brought insights into their evolutionary dynamics,...
