Highly Conserved Core Residues Define Old-World Alphaviruses and Trace Early Evolutionary Divergence

Wendy Carolina Piñ-Ruiz, Luis Rubén Jaime-Rocha, Andrea Castorena-Robles…·Mauricio Comas‐García

The paper identifies conserved residues in Old-World alphaviruses that govern capsid structure and traces their evolutionary divergence, suggesting reduced assembly efficiency in New-World lineages may contribute to attenuation.
