Mechanisms of genetic variation in polioviruses.

Reviews in medical virology - 1 Nov 2010

Abstract excerpt

Polioviruses, as with all RNA viruses, are in a constant process of evolution driven by different mechanisms. With multiple mechanisms for genetic variability, they are successful conformists, adapting to changes in their habitat. The evolution of polioviruses may occur with generation of point mutations followed by genetic drift and selection. The mutation rate of polioviruses based on several studies is...
