reassort

基本解释

When two viral strains infect the same cell, their gene segments can reassort just like figures on a slot machine, forming new combinations and thus novel versions of the virus.
当两种品系的病毒感染同一个细胞时，其中所带各段基因，就会像吃角子老虎上头的数字一样，重新配对而形成新的组合，也就是新品系的病毒。
Mike Ryan, WHO's global alert and response director."These viruses mutate, these viruses change, these viruses can further reassort with other genetic material, with other viruses," he said.
尽管如此，世卫组织的全球警报和反应主任迈克赖安博士称，“这并不意味着人们可以放松。
When influenza viruses from different species infect pigs, the viruses can reassort (i.e. swap genes) and new viruses that are a mix of swine, human and/or avian influenza viruses can emerge.
当不同种来源的流感病毒同时感染时，病毒之间就会重新“洗牌”(交换基因)，从而产生一种新的“禽人猪”混合病毒。
