Parallel evolution of influenza across multiple spatiotemporal scales

The influenza genome consists of eight linear segments that freely reassort with one another but do not recombine (Boni et al., 2008), meaning that each segment evolves clonally. ...

Marburg virus disease
Marburg virus disease (MVD; formerly Marburg hemorrhagic fever) is a severe illness of humans and non-human primates caused by either of the two marburgviruses, Marburg virus (MARV) and Ravn virus (RAVV). MVD is a viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF), and the clinical symptoms are indistinguishable from Ebola virus disease (EVD).
