Analysis of adaptive evolution in Lyssavirus genomes reveals pervasive diversifying selection during species diversification.

Abstract excerpt

Lyssavirus is a diverse genus of viruses that infect a variety of mammalian hosts, typically causing encephalitis. The evolution of this lineage, particularly the rabies virus, has been a focus of research because of the extensive occurrence of cross-species transmission, and the distinctive geographical patterns present throughout the diversification of these viruses. Although numerous studies have examined...
