The evolutionary dynamics of a rapidly mutating virus within and between hosts: the case of hepatitis C virus.

Abstract excerpt

Many pathogens associated with chronic infections evolve so rapidly that strains found late in an infection have little in common with the initial strain. This raises questions at different levels of analysis because rapid within-host evolution affects the course of an infection, but it can also affect the possibility for natural selection to act at the between-host level. We present a nested approach that...
