Predicting Hotspots for Influenza Virus Reassortment [PDF]
The 1957 and 1968 influenza pandemics, each of which killed ≈1 million persons, arose through reassortment events. Influenza virus in humans and domestic animals could reassort and cause another pandemic.

TreeKnit: Inferring ancestral reassortment graphs of influenza viruses. [PDF]
When two influenza viruses co-infect the same cell, they can exchange genome segments in a process known as reassortment. Reassortment is an important source of genetic diversity and is known to have been involved in the emergence of most pandemic ...

Pathogenesis and Transmission of a Reassorted H1 Influenza A Virus Detected in North American Swine. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The USDA influenza A virus in swine national surveillance plan identified an increase in the detection frequency of a group of swine 1A.1.1.3 hemagglutinin (HA) clade viruses. This change was associated with reassortment events that resulted in new neuraminidase (NA) gene pairings.

Development of reassortant influenza vaccines: classical reassortment or reverse genetics?
An important feature of influenza vaccines, which distinguishes them from other immunobiological preparations, is that they have no fixed composition. Due to the constant influenza virus antigenic variability, production facilities require timely supply with relevant vaccine strains undoable due to the lack of proper method for the convenient, rapid ...

Molecular Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity of Influenza B Viruses Based on Whole-Genome Analysis in Japan and Myanmar, 2016-2020. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Influenza B virus (IBV) contributes to seasonal epidemics, but its molecular evolution is less defined than influenza A. We analyzed IBVs collected in Japan and Myanmar (2016–2020) to investigate lineage dynamics, reassortment, and genetic mismatch with vaccine strains. Methods Respiratory specimens from patients with influenza‐like

Frequency of influenza H3N2 intra-subtype reassortment: attributes and implications of reassortant spread [PDF]
De plus en plus de preuves suggèrent que le réassortiment de la grippe contribue non seulement à l'émergence de nouvelles pandémies humaines, mais joue également un rôle important dans les épidémies de grippe saisonnière, la gravité de la maladie, l'évolution et l'efficacité des vaccins.

Diversity and Reassortment Rate of Influenza A Viruses in Wild Ducks and Gulls
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) evolve via point mutations and reassortment of viral gene segments. The patterns of reassortment in different host species differ considerably.

Background Influenza reassortment, a mechanism where influenza viruses exchange their RNA segments by co-infecting a single cell, has been implicated in several major pandemics since 19th century.

Neuraminidase and hemagglutinin matching patterns of a highly pathogenic avian and two pandemic H1N1 influenza A viruses. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Influenza A virus displays strong reassortment characteristics, which enable it to achieve adaptation in human infection. Surveying the reassortment and virulence of novel viruses is important in the prevention and control of an influenza ...
