Tissue tropisms opt for transmissible reassortants during avian and swine influenza A virus co-infection in swine.

Tissue tropisms opt for transmissible reassortants during avian and swine influenza A virus co-infection in swine.

Genetic reassortment between influenza A viruses (IAVs) facilitate emergence of pandemic strains, and swine are proposed as a "mixing vessel" for generating reassortants of avian and mammalian IAVs that could be of risk to mammals, including humans. However, how a transmissible reassortant...
