Due to its high mutation rate, this virus exists as seven distinct serotypes (O, A, C, Asia 1, South African territories [SAT]1, SAT2, and SAT3) as well as numerous and constantly evolving subtypes, which shows a spectrum of antigenic diversity [ 2],[ 3].
It has a high mutation rate because the viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase lacks proofreading ability, resulting in 7 immunogenically distinct serotypes (O, A, C, Southern African Territories [SAT] 1, SAT 2, SAT 3, and Asia 1) and numerous and constantly evolving variants showing a spectrum of antigenic diversity.
These clusters correlate well with distinct serotypes.
There are seven major immunologically distinct serotypes of the virus: A, O, C, SAT1, SAT2, SAT3, and Asia1.
In humans, more than 50 distinct serotypes of adenovirus have been found.
It is caused by four antigenically distinct serotypes of dengue viruses (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4) belonging to the Flavivirus family, all of which are transmitted by the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes2.
Content will thus balkanize to numerous distinct streaming platforms, with almost no overlap between them.
Dengue fever (DF) is the most significant emerging arbovirus disease, which is caused by four distinct serotypes of Dengue viruses (DENV-1 to DENV-4).
It is well known that there are four distinct serotypes of Dengue virus (DEN1, DEN2, DEN3 and DEN4), according to clinical data collected during the past years.
Clostridium botulinum produces seven distinct serotypes of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs).
Moreover, 97.5% of all the P1-P2 pairs from distinct serotypes had >9% pairwise nucleotide divergence.
