The viral Recombinaison is one of the two natural mode modes of evolution many Virus with ARN (the latter are much more unstable than the viruses with DNA).

When a living organism is infected by 2 viruses, of the gene fragments or whole genes can be mixed, and give rise to a new viable virus having whole or part of the properties of both virus-source and/or possibly of new properties (of Virulence in particular). It is the case for the seasonal flu, or the highly pathogenic grippaux viruses.

The geneticists and the eco-epidemiologists track particular sequences of the genome, considered here as marker, or considered to correspond to characteristics of pathogenicity. example: Semi-2006, after the publication of the sequencing of a virus of the area of Omsk (that of the village Maximovka, district of Tyukalinsky where 86 hens died recently?), HTTP: /www.recombinomics.com Recombinomic estimates that it is an index moreover pleading in favor of evidence that the virus recombines actively and frequently: one finds there a polymorphism C1261T, rather common in a subset of isolates of the H5N1 coming from the Lac Qinghai. However, this polymorphism was also detected in the isolates of two patients in Indonesia. In the same way, another polymorphism detected on this virus was not found in other isolates of Qinghai, but had been detected at one of the two patients indonésiens whose viruses had polymorphism C1261T, and at a patient indonésien who had been infected in 2005.
