| consequences of in vitro host shift for st. louis encephalitis virus. | understanding the potential for host range shifts and expansions of rna viruses is critical to predicting the evolutionary and epidemiological paths of these pathogens. as arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) experience frequent spillover from their amplification cycles and are generalists by nature, they are likely to experience a relatively high frequency of success in a range of host environments. despite this, the potential for host expansion, the genetic correlates of adaptation to novel e ... | 2014 | 24643879 |
