Yang Liu,Jianying Liu,Bryan A. Johnson,Hongjie Xia,Zhiqiang Ku,Craig Schindewolf,Steven G. Widen,Zhiqiang An,Scott C. Weaver,Vineet D. Menachery,Xuping Xie,Pei Yong Shi +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Delta spike mutation P681R plays a key role in the Alpha-to-Delta variant replacement and the Delta SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant has rapidly replaced the Alpha variant around the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chimeric alphavirus vaccine candidates for chikungunya
Eryu Wang,Eugenia Volkova,A. Paige Adams,Naomi L. Forrester,Shu-Yuan Xiao,Ilya Frolov,Scott C. Weaver +6 more
TL;DR: Chikungunya virus is an emerging alphavirus that has caused major epidemics in India and islands off the east coast of Africa since 2005 and importations into Europe and the Americas underscore the risk of endemic establishment elsewhere.

TL;DR: Zika transmission within a Brazilian slum community indicates that prior dengue immunity and local variations influence transmission, and the landscape of ZIKV immunity that now exists may affect the risk for future transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect-Specific Virus Discovery: Significance for the Arbovirus Community
TL;DR: The arbovirus community will benefit from the growing database of knowledge concerning these newly described viral endosymbionts, as their impacts will likely be far reaching.

RNA virus quasispecies: significance for viral disease and epidemiology.
E A Duarte,Isabel S. Novella,Scott C. Weaver,Esteban Domingo,S. Wain-Hobson,D K Clarke,Andrés Moya,Santiago F. Elena,J C de la Torre,John J. Holland +9 more
TL;DR: The experimental evidence available for animal and plant RNA viruses, as well as other RNA genetic elements (viroids, satellites, retroelements, etc.), reinforces the view that many different types of genetic alterations may occur during RNA genome replication as discussed by the authors.
