Escape from Prisoner's Dilemma in RNA phage phi6.

The American naturalist - 1 Mar 2003

Turner Paul E, Chao Lin

Abstract excerpt

We previously examined competitive interactions among viruses by allowing the RNA phage phi6 to evolve at high and low multiplicities of infection (ratio of infecting viruses to bacterial cells). Derived high-multiplicity phages were competitively advantaged relative to their ancestors during coinfection, but their fixation caused population fitness to decline. These data conform to the evolution of lowered...
