Virulence evolution at the front line of spreading epidemics.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2015

Griette Quentin, Raoul Gaël, Gandon Sylvain

Abstract excerpt

Understanding and predicting the spatial spread of emerging pathogens is a major challenge for the public health management of infectious diseases. Theoretical epidemiology shows that the speed of an epidemic is governed by the life-history characteristics of the pathogen and its ability to disperse. Rapid evolution of these traits during the invasion may thus affect the speed of epidemics. Here we study the...
