Diversity patterns in parasite populations capable for persistence and reinfection with a view towards the <i>human cytomegalovirus</i>

2019-01-07

Abstract excerpt

Many parasites like the cytomegalovirus, HIV and Escherichia coli are capable to persist in and reinfect its host. The evolutionary advantage (if so) of these complicated mechanisms have not been quantitatively analyzed so far. Here we take a first step by investigating a host-parasite model for which these mechanisms are driving the evolution of the parasite population. We consider two variants of the model. In...
