Journal ArticleDOI

A single mutation in chikungunya virus affects vector specificity and epidemic potential.

TL;DR: The observation that a single amino acid substitution can influence vector specificity provides a plausible explanation of how this mutant virus caused an epidemic in a region lacking the typical vector, and has important implications with respect to how viruses may establish a transmission cycle when introduced into a new area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epistatic Roles of E2 Glycoprotein Mutations in Adaption of Chikungunya Virus to Aedes Albopictus and Ae. Aegypti Mosquitoes

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that introduction of the E1-A226V mutation into the background of an infectious clone derived from the Ag41855 strain does not significantly increase infectivity for Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infectious clones of Chikungunya virus (La Réunion isolate) for vector competence studies.

TL;DR: Comparison of the growth kinetics and infection rates of the viral isolate CHIKV strain LR2006 OPY1 (CHIKV-LR) and a full-length infectious clone indicate that the infectious clone has retained the viral phenotypes of the original isolate.
