Discussion: Besides, we found a higher proportion of
V179D/E mutation in Shanghai CRF01_AE strains than in all others China CRF01_AE strains.
Discussion: Sequences with
V179D/E were distributed and networked in most sub-lineages in SH-L1, suggesting that several independent CRF01_AE strains with
V179D/E were involved in ongoing transmission in this city.
