Host hybridization enabled the emergence of a reassorted hantavirus lineage
B1 Crossref Works API · 2026-07-28 · TULV
The exchange of genetic material between individuals is a key driver of evolution and diversification across most branches of life. Segmented viruses can exchange genetic material through reassortment of genomic segments. New viral strains that emerge from reassortments can have greater infection ranges and higher virulence, although concrete examples of the adaptive advantages of reassortants in nature apart from influenza remain rare. We studied here the evolutionary history and consequences of reassortment in Tula orthohantavirus (TULV) in a hybrid zone between evolutionary lineages of its
