A single mutation in chikungunya virus affects vector specificity and epidemic potential
KA Tsetsarkin, DL Vanlandingham, CE McGee… - PLoS …, 2007 - journals.plos.org
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an emerging arbovirus associated with several recent large-
scale epidemics. The 2005–2006 epidemic on Reunion island that resulted in approximately
266,000 human cases was associated with a strain of CHIKV with a mutation in the
envelope protein gene (E1-A226V). To test the hypothesis that this mutation in the epidemic
CHIKV (strain LR2006 OPY1) might influence fitness for different vector species, viral
infectivity, dissemination, and transmission of CHIKV were compared in Aedes albopictus …
