INTER- AND INTRA-HOST SEQUENCE DIVERSITY REVEAL THE EMERGENCE OF VIRAL VARIANTS DURING AN OVERWINTERING EPIDEMIC CAUSED BY DENGUE VIRUS SEROTYPE 2 IN SOUTHERN TAIWAN.

Inter- and intra-host sequence diversity reveal the emergence of viral variants during an overwintering epidemic caused by dengue virus serotype 2 in southern Taiwan.

Purifying selection igora 9.5-18 during dengue viral infection has been suggested as the driving force of viral evolution and the higher complexity of the intra-host quasi-species is thought to offer an adaptive advantage for arboviruses as they cycle between arthropod and vertebrate hosts.However, very few studies have been performed to investigat
