  • Conference paper
Arenaviruses

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 133))

Abstract

The reassortment of genetic information from RNA viruses with segmented genomes, i. e., Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, and Reoviridae families, can occur within cells infected by two different viral strains from the same family (COmpans etal. 1981; FIelds and GReene 1982; WEbster etal. 1982; Palese 1984). The phenomenon of reassortment also occurs in vivo and has been exploited to define the function of viral genes in pathogenesis (FIelds and GReene 1982; WEbster et al. 1982).
