Global Phylogenetic Analysis of the CDV Hemagglutinin Gene Reveals Positive Selection on Key Receptor-Binding Sites

Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a multi-host morbillivirus whose evolution and host-switching capacity are largely determined by its hemagglutinin (H) gene. To reconsider the molecular evolution of this critical gene, we performed comprehensive phylogenetic, selection, and structural analyses on a c...
