Mammalian orthoreoviruses (reoviruses) are currently classified based on properties of the
attachment protein, σ1. Four reovirus serotypes have been identified, three of which are …

Mammalian orthoreoviruses (MRVs) are widespread and infect virtually all mammals. We
report here the first case of a natural mutant and reassortant serotype 3 reovirus from mink in …

To better understand genetic diversity within mammalian reoviruses, we determined S2
nucleotide and deduced sigma 2 amino acid sequences of nine reovirus strains and …

Mammalian reoviruses are members of the orthoreovirus genus of the family of Reoviridae.
They were first isolated from the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts of healthy and sick …

Mammalian orthoreoviruses with reassortant genomes have recently been detected in
various mammals and humans with respiratory, central nervous system, and gastrointestinal …

To better understand genetic diversity of mammalian reoviruses, we studied sequence
variability in the S3 gene segment of 17 field-isolate reovirus strains and prototype strains of …

Segmentation of viral genomes provides the potential for genetic exchange within coinfected
cells. However, for this potential to be realized, coinfecting genomes must mix during the …

In this study, we sequenced the whole genome of a reovirus isolated from a green bush
viper (Atheris squamigera). The bush viper reovirus shared several features with other …

The fusogenic subgroup of orthoreoviruses contains most of the few known examples of non-
enveloped viruses capable of inducing syncytium formation. The only unclassified …

Reassortment, or genome segment exchange, increases diversity among viruses with
segmented genomes. Previous studies on the limitations of reassortment have largely …
