Deciphering contrasting evolutionary phases underlines Zika virus emergence from African ancestry to American pandemic spread

2026-02-05

Abstract excerpt

virus (ZIKV) transitioned from an enzootic African to a globally consequential pathogen during its rapid spread across the Pacific and American continent yet how distinct evolutionary processes shaped lineage establishment and pandemic expansion remain incompletely resolved. Here, we integrate large-scale phylogenomic and comparative mutational analysis of 1,336 ZIKV genomes depicting the genomic signatures associ...
