Punctuated evolution of myxoma virus: rapid and disjunct evolution of a recent viral lineage in Australia

2018-11-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Myxoma virus (MYXV) has been evolving in a novel host species – European rabbits – in Australia since 1950. Previous studies of viruses sampled from 1950 to 1999 revealed a remarkably clock-like evolutionary process across all Australian lineages of MYXV. Through an analysis of 49 newly generated MYXV genome sequences isolated in Australia between 2008 and 2017 we show that MYXV evolution in Aus...
