We reconstructed the 2016-2017 Zika virus epidemic in Puerto Rico by using complete genomes to uncover the epidemic's origin, spread, and evolutionary dynamics. Our study revealed that the epidemic was propelled by multiple introductions that spread across the island, intricate evolutionary patterns, and ≈10 months of cryptic transmission.
我们通过使用完整基因组重建了 2016-2017 年波多黎各的寨卡病毒疫情,以揭示疫情的起源、传播和进化动态。我们的研究表明,该疫情是由多个传入事件推动的,这些传入事件在岛上传播,进化模式复杂,并且存在约 10 个月的隐匿传播。
