Genetic Determinants of Virulence in Pathogenic Lineage 2 West Nile Virus Strains

Genetic Determinants of Virulence in Pathogenic Lineage 2 West Nile Virus Strains

We determined complete genome sequences of lineage 2 West Nile virus (WNV) strains isolated from patients in South Africa who had mild or severe WNV infections. These strains had previously been shown to produce either highly or less neuroinvasive infection and induced genes similar to corresponding...
