Widespread Reassortment Shapes the Evolution and Epidemiology of Bluetongue Virus following European Invasion
7 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
Genetic exchange by a process of genome-segment 'reassortment' represents an important mechanism for evolutionary change in all viruses with segmented genomes, yet in many cases a detailed understanding of its frequency and biological consequences is lacking. We provide a comprehensive assessment of reassortment in bluetongue virus (BTV), a globally important insect-borne pathogen of livestock, during recent...
