High genetic diversity and adaptive potential of two simian hemorrhagic fever viruses in a wild primate population.

High genetic diversity and adaptive potential of two simian hemorrhagic fever viruses in a wild primate population.

Key biological properties such as high genetic diversity and high evolutionary rate enhance the potential of certain RNA viruses to adapt and emerge. Identifying viruses with these properties in their natural hosts could dramatically improve disease forecasting and surveillance. Recently, we discove...
