Parallel Evolution in the Emergence of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A Viruses
2018-07-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Parallel molecular evolution and adaptation are important phenomena commonly observed in viruses. Here we exploit parallel molecular evolution to understand virulence evolution in avian influenza viruses (AIV). Highly-pathogenic AIVs independently evolve from low-pathogenic ancestors via acquisition of a polybasic cleavage sites (pCS). Why some AIV lineages but not others evolve in this way is u...
