Has Adaptive Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 Hit a Ceiling?

2025-04-15

Abstract excerpt

The ultimate measurement of viral fitness is the ability to maintain high prevalence rates in its host species. Effective transmission, efficient replication, and rapid immune evasion all lead to this end. During the past five years, SARS-CoV-2 has successfully adapted to the human host and established human reservoirs for long term coexistence with mankind. We have observed innovative synergistic mutations in the...
