Reassortment Network of Influenza A Virus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Influenza A virus (IAV) genomes are composed of eight single-stranded RNA segments. Genetic exchange through reassortment of the segmented genomes often endows IAVs with new genetic characteristics, which may affect transmissibility and pathogenicity of ...

Subtype-specific neutralizing antibodies promote antigenic shift during influenza virus co-infection [PDF]
VirulenceReassortment between different influenza strains occurs when they co-infect the same host cell. The emergence of a reassortant virus depends on both its intrinsic fitness and extrinsic factors, including preexisting humoral immunity.

A Non-phylogeny-dependent Reassortment Detection Method for Influenza A Viruses
Frontiers in Virology, 2021 Influenza A virus is a segmented RNA virus whose genome consists of 8 single-stranded negative-sense RNA segments. This unique genetic structure allows viruses to exchange their segments through reassortment when they infect the same host cell.

Influenza virus reassortment occurs with high frequency in the absence of segment mismatch. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 Reassortment is fundamental to the evolution of influenza viruses and plays a key role in the generation of epidemiologically significant strains. Previous studies indicate that reassortment is restricted by segment mismatch, arising from functional ...

Avian Influenza A Viruses Reassort and Diversify Differently in Mallards and Mammals
Viruses, 2021 Reassortment among co-infecting influenza A viruses (IAVs) is an important source of viral diversity and can facilitate expansion into novel host species. Indeed, reassortment played a key role in the evolution of the last three pandemic IAVs.
