Widespread Reassortment Shapes the Evolution and Epidemiology of Bluetongue Virus following European Invasion

Genetic exchange by a process of genome-segment ‘reassortment’ represents an important mechanism for evolutionary change in all viruses with segmented genomes, yet in many cases a detailed understanding of its frequency and biological consequences is lacking. We provide a comprehensive assessment of...
