S = small. Lokern and Santa Rosa viruses are not included because their S genome segments have not been fully sequenced. Fort Sherman, Playas, Tlacotalpan, and Xingu viruses are not included because they are antigenic variants of CVV.36,37 Iaco and Tucunduba viruses are not included because they have been reclassified as Wyeomyia group viruses.34 Underlined values were obtained when the S genomic sequence of a reassortant was aligned to the corresponding sequence of its donor virus (these values were excluded when calculating means and ranges). Abbreviations are defined in Table 1. Genbank accession numbers used for the analysis are as follows: BUNV (NC_001927.1 and NP_047213.1), BATV (KU746869.1 and APU88427.1), BIRV (AM711131.1 and CAM97976.1), BOZOV (AM711132.1 and CAM97977.1), CVV (KX100133.1 and ARI46659.1), GERV (M19420.1 and AAA87603.1), ILEV (KF234073.1 and AGU99594.1), MAGV (KY910431.1 and ATJ04179.1), MBOV (AY593727.1 and AAT01933.1), NRIV (KM507341.1 and AIZ49766.1), NORV (X73470.1 and CAA51855.1), POTV (MF066370.1 and ATJ04184.1), SHOV (EU564831.1 and ACE07184.1), and TENV (FJ943505.1 and ACV95620.1).
