Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a zoonotic mosquito-borne Orthoflavivirus that circulates primarily in birds and pigs. Previous observations of vector-free transmission between pigs indicates the possibility of single-host cycling in swine. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate the evolutionary pressure of single host cycling using a relevant primary cell culture model. METHODS: To...
