Can Ebola Virus evolve to be less virulent in humans?

2017-02-14

Abstract excerpt

This preprint has been reviewed and recommended by Peer Community In Evolutionary Biology (< http://dx.doi.org/10.24072/pci.evolbiol.100022 >). Understanding Ebola Virus (EBOV) virulence evolution is not only timely but also raises specific questions because it causes one of the most virulent human infections and it is capable of transmission after the death of its host. Using a compartmental epidemiological mode...
