Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is highly prevalent in all human populations and has been presumed to evolve in a clonal manner because of a lack of evidence for significant levels of co-infection. Different HSV-1 populations have distinct distributions of strains and the long timescale evident from HSV-1 population diversity has led to the suggestion that studies of virus variability may yield information...
