VIRULENCE EVOLUTION IN EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES

2005-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Models of virulence evolution generally consider the outcome of competition between resident and mutant parasite strains at or near endemic equilibrium. Less studied is what happens during the initial phases of invasion and adaptation. Understanding initial adaptive dynamics is particularly important in the context of emerging diseases in wildlife and humans, for which rapid and accurate intervention may...
