Integrated Mosquito Management: Is Precision Control a Luxury or Necessity?
2019, Trends in ParasitologyCitation Excerpt :Importantly, the rapid evolution of arboviruses, as well as the emergence/re-emergence of new species, highlights the need for advanced testing procedures that may provide a fine-scale description of genetic variation within the virus genome. Indeed, our understanding of the conditions that favor the emergence of new viral lineages responsible for outbreaks, as well as the drivers of their fitness and virulence, remains limited [44–48]. Laboratory protocols are being developed to sequence RNA viruses directly from clinical samples in a way that is cheap, accurate, and scalable under resource-limited conditions [49,50].
