Cross-species jumps may play unexpectedly big role in virus evolution: Comparing host and virus evolutionary trees reveals new insights into emergence of viral diseases

On occasion, a virus may jump from one host species to another and adapt to the new host. Such cross-species transmission happens more often than expected, according to new research, and it may play a much bigger role in virus evolution than previously thought.See it on Scoop.it, via Viruses and Bioinformatics from Virology.uvic.ca
