Arenavirus Variations Due to Host-Specific Adaptation

open access: yesViruses, 2013
Arenavirus particles are enveloped and contain two single-strand RNA genomic segments with ambisense coding. Genetic plasticity of the arenaviruses comes from transcription errors, segment reassortment, and permissive genomic packaging, and results in ...
