Abstract excerpt
The objectives of this paper are to explore the impact of immune response on within-host viral evolution towards higher Darwinian fitness and, in particular, to verify a hypothesis that immune response, which is insufficient to annihilate a viral infection, can accelerate this evolution. To address this issue, a model of within-host viral evolution with immune response is formulated. This model is an extension of...
