Modelling the evolution of viral oncogenesis

2019-01-18

Abstract excerpt

Most human oncogenic viruses share several characteristics, such as being DNA viruses, having long (co)evolutionary histories with their hosts and causing either latent or chronic infections. They can reach high prevalences while causing relatively low case mortality, which makes them quite fit according to virulence evolution theory. After analysing the life-histories of DNA oncoviruses, we use a mathematical mod...
