Genetic recombination between human and animal parasites creates novel strains of human pathogen.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases - 1 Mar 2015

Abstract excerpt

Genetic recombination between pathogens derived from humans and livestock has the potential to create novel pathogen strains, highlighted by the influenza pandemic H1N1/09, which was derived from a re-assortment of swine, avian and human influenza A viruses. Here we investigated whether genetic recombination between subspecies of the protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma brucei, from humans and animals can generate new...
