Abstract excerpt
Some basic properties of RNA viruses are their high mutation rate, their enormous population sizes and their short generation time. These properties allow RNA virus populations to quickly explore fitness landscapes. A great adaptability has been amply demonstrated in experimental, as well as in natural, populations of RNA viruses. However, at least from a theoretical point of view, a limit to the extent of viral...
