A Multicomponent Animal Virus Isolated from Mosquitoes

Multicomponent viruses, which separately package different genome segments, were thought to be restricted to plant and fungal hosts. Ladner et al. characterize a multicomponent mosquito virus and describe an evolutionarily related, segmented virus in a nonhuman primate. These findings provide evidence for multicomponent animal viruses and suggest relevance to animal health.See it on Scoop.it, via Viruses and Bioinformatics from Virology.uvic.ca
