Issues associated with newly emerging viruses, their genetic diversity, and viral evolution in modern environments are currently attracting growing attention. In this study, a phylogenetic analysis was performed and the evolution rate was evaluated for such pathogenic flaviviruses endemic to Russia as tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and Powassan virus (PV). The analysis involved 47 nucleotide sequences of the TBEV genome region encoding protein E and 17 sequences of the PV NS5-encoding…

Phylogeographic reconstruction of the emergence and spread of Powassan virus in the northeastern United States

Powassan virus is maintained in highly localized transmission foci that have been maintained for several years, without introductions of new virus clades, which provides both opportunities for better education about high risk areas and effective targeted control in PowASSan virus foci with a long lasting impact.

Evolutionary traits of Tick-borne encephalitis virus: Pervasive non-coding RNA structure conservation and molecular epidemiology

An updated phylogeny of TBEV is provided, building on more than 220 publicly available complete genomes, and the molecular epidemiology and phylodynamics are investigated with Nextstrain, a web-based visualization framework for real-time pathogen evolution.

Microtomography of the Baltic amber tick Ixodes succineus reveals affinities with the modern Asian disease vector Ixodes ovatus

The data suggest that Ixodes ricinus is unlikely to be directly derived from Weidner’s amber species, but instead reveals that the Partipalpiger lineage was originally more widely distributed across the northern hemisphere.

Molecular evolution of West Nile virus

Estimation of WNV evolution time using molecular-clock methodology demonstrated that the WNV genotypes 1, 2, and 4 with an estimated time of divergence from the common precursor of approximately 2360, 2800, and 5950 years, respectively, circulate on the territory of the European part of Russia.
