Analyses and Insights into Genetic Reassortment and Natural Selection as Key Drivers of Piscine orthoreovirus Evolution

Viruses
Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) is a pathogen that causes heart and skeletal muscle inflammation in Salmo salar and has also been linked to circulatory disorders in other farmed salmonids, such as Oncorhynchus kisutch and Oncorhynchus mykiss. The virus has a

The effective rate of influenza reassortment is limited during human infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
We characterise the evolutionary dynamics of influenza infection described by viral sequence data collected from two challenge studies conducted in human hosts. Viral sequence data were collected at regular intervals from infected hosts.

The frequency and importance of polyploidy in tropical rainforest tree radiations

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 2103-2114, February 2026.
Summary The presence of more than two copies of the genome in an organism, termed ‘polyploidy’, is a crucial force in plant evolution, generating genetic, phenotypic and ecological diversity. [Correction added on 22 January 2026, after first online publication: the preceding sentence has been corrected.] The Amazonian tree flora is the most species ...

Local Maintenance and Genomic Diversity of Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus in Natural Populations of House Mice in the Czech Republic Over a 24‐Year Period

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 107-112, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a neglected rodent‐borne zoonotic virus primarily infecting house mice. The virus can be highly pathogenic, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and in congenital infections. LCMV is distributed worldwide but shows local clustering, probably due to the highly structured populations of its ...

Exposure of Culicoides sonorensis to Enzootic Strains of Bluetongue Virus Demonstrates Temperature- and Virus-Specific Effects on Virogenesis

Viruses, 2021
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a segmented RNA virus transmitted by Culicoides midges. Climatic factors, animal movement, vector species, and viral mutation and reassortment may all play a role in the occurrence of BTV outbreaks among susceptible ruminants ...

Leveraging Long‐Term Ecological Research Initiatives Into the One Health Synthesis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We address important ecological and evolutionary considerations for advancing a One Health perspective by drawing attention to faunal and ecosystem changes occurring through the Great Plains of North America that have strong implications for future risk of emerging pathogens including zoonoses.

Novel Swine Influenza Virus Reassortants in Pigs, China

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
During swine influenza virus surveillance in pigs in China during 2006–2009, we isolated subtypes H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2 and found novel reassortment between contemporary swine and avian panzootic viruses.

Arrival of Oropouche Virus in a Nonendemic Area in Northeastern Brazil, 2024

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Orthobunyavirus oropoucheense (OROV) causes Oropouche fever, which exhibits symptoms similar to those of other arboviral diseases. Although it has historically been restricted to the Amazon region, the virus has recently spread to other areas of Brazil.

Potential for La Crosse virus segment reassortment in nature

Virology Journal, 2008
The evolutionary success of La Crosse virus (LACV, family Bunyaviridae) is due to its ability to adapt to changing conditions through intramolecular genetic changes and segment reassortment.

Forecasting Influenza Epidemics and Pandemics in the Age of AI and Machine Learning

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Influenza's rapid evolution, driven by its segmented RNA genome, high mutation rate, and extensive animal reservoirs, underpins its capacity to cause recurring epidemics and unpredictable pandemics. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming influenza forecasting by enabling the prediction of ...
