   Abstract : Viruses are entities which are made of a few genes and are reliant on obligate parasitism to propagate. Due to the obligate connection to their hosts, virus evolution is constrained to the type of host. Viruses however do transmit to evolutionary distinct hosts; in these cases, the phylogenetic relationship of the hosts usually are close. READ MORE

   Abstract : Hösten 2011 drabbades Tyskland och Nederländerna av ett okänt agens som orsakade diarré, nedsatt mjölkproduktion och feber hos nötkreatur. Efter en metagenomanalys av blodprover ifrån en drabbad besättning kunde man konstatera att orsaken till utbrotten var ett nytt virus; vilket senare fick namnet Schmallenbergvirus (SBV). READ MORE
