What Are Some Examples of Recombination in Epidemiology?
One notable example is the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, which was caused by a triple-reassortant virus containing genes from avian, swine, and human influenza viruses. Another example is the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants, where recombination events have been observed and are thought to contribute to the genetic diversity of the virus.
