Naturally Occurring Sin Nombre Virus Genetic Reassortants
Genetic reassortment has been shown to play an important role in the evolution of several segmented RNA viruses and in the epidemiology of associated diseases. Sin Nombre (SN) virus is the cause of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome throughout the western United States.

ABSTRACT Background Surveillance of influenza infections and virus characterisation are essential to guide prevention strategies. In the Central African Republic (CAR), data on influenza viruses are patchy and poorly documented. Objective To study the clinical, seasonal, genetic and phenotypic characteristics of influenza viruses circulating in the CAR

ABSTRACT Bluetongue (BT) is a non‐contagious, insect‐transmitted disease of wild and domestic ruminants caused by bluetongue virus (BTV). Effective control of BT disease relies on vaccination against prevalent or seasonal serotypes using live attenuated or inactivated vaccines.

Reassortment events in the evolution of hantaviruses [PDF]
Hantaviruses (order Bunyavirales, family Hantaviridae), known as important zoonotic human pathogens, possess the capacity to exchange genome segments via genetic reassortment due to their tri-segmented genome. Although not as frequent as in the arthropod-borne bunyaviruses, reports indicating reassortment events in the evolution of hantaviruses have ...

The Evolution, Spread and Global Threat of H6Nx Avian Influenza Viruses
Avian influenza viruses of the subtype H6Nx are being detected globally with increasing frequency. Some H6Nx lineages are becoming enzootic in Asian poultry and sporadic incursions into European poultry are occurring more frequently.

Probing orthobunyavirus reassortment using Bunyamwera and Batai viruses as models.
Reassortment is a critical evolutionary mechanism for segmented viruses, enabling the exchange of intact genome segments during co-infection and driving orthobunyavirus evolution; however, the molecular mechanisms underpinning this process remain unclear.

Host origin is a determinant of coevolution between gene segments of avian H9 influenza viruses
Several emerging influenza viruses, including H7N9 and H5N6 viruses, trace their origins to reassortment with H9N2 viruses that contributed internal gene segments.

A human-porcine reassortant rotavirus, strain R1207, was identified from 74 group A rotaviruses detected in 197 (37.6%) stool samples collected from patients who attended a tertiary care hospital in Ragama, Sri Lanka. This is the first report of a human-porcine reassortant rotavirus in Sri Lanka.
