Abstract excerpt
Lytic viruses are obligate parasites whose population dynamics are necessarily coupled to the dynamics of their host-cell population. The adaptation rate of these viruses has attracted considerable scientific interest, as they are a key model organism in experimental evolution. Nevertheless, to date mathematical models of experimental evolution have largely ignored the host-cell population. In this paper we...
