CHIKV Mutation Detail Information

Virus Mutation CHIKV Mutation A98T


Basic Characteristics of Mutations
Mutation Site A98T
Mutation Site Sentence Regarding A98T, no sequences showed that mutation; in fact, 219 CHIKV E1 sequences harbored the amino acid alanine (at the a.a. position 98), and 39 sequences showed a gap because the initial portion was missing.

Abstract CHIKV infection is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes spp., with Ae. aegypti considered as the primary vector and Ae. Albopictus playing an important role in sustaining outbreaks in Europe. The ECSA-Indian Ocean Lineage (IOL) strain emerged in Reunion, subsequently spreading to areas such as India, the Indian Ocean, and Southeast Asia, also causing outbreaks in naive countries, including more temperate regions, which originated from infected travelers. In Italy, two authocthounous outbreaks occurred in 2007 (Emilia Romagna region) and 2017 (Lazio and Calabria regions), caused by two different ECSA-IOL strains. The phylogenetics, evolution, and phylogeography of ECSA-IOL-CHIKV strains causing the 2007 and 2017 outbreaks in Italy were investigated. The mean evolutionary rate and time-scaled phylogeny were performed through BEAST. Specific adaptive vector mutations or key signature substitutions were also investigated. The estimated mean value of the CHIKV E1 evolutionary rate was 1.313 x 10(-3) substitution/site/year (95% HPD: 8.709 x 10(-4)-1.827 x 10(-3)). The 2017 CHIKV Italian sequences of the outbreak in Lazio and of the secondary outbreak in Calabria were located inside a sub-clade dating back to 2015 (95% HPD: 2014-2015), showing an origin in India. Continued genomic surveillance combined with phylogeographic analysis could be useful in public health, as a starting point for future risk assessment models and early warning.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
