Adaptive Evolution and Distinct Mutation Signatures of Full-Length HBV Quasispecies in HBeAg-Negative Chronic Hepatitis B. [PDF]
HBeAg‐negative chronic hepatitis B harbors a highly heterogeneous HBV quasispecies shaped by region‐specific selection. Adaptive strategies underpinning viral persistence include: BCP/PreC mutations supporting replication, PreS/S mutations enabling immune evasion, and overlapping Pol/S mutations maintaining viral fitness.

Natural occurrence of drug resistance mutations to the HIV-1 capsid inhibitor lenacapavir. [PDF]
Abstract Aims Lenacapavir (LEN) is a first‐in‐class HIV‐1 capsid inhibitor. We investigated the natural occurrence of LEN drug resistance mutations (DRM) in HIV‐1 sequences from LEN treatment‐naïve individuals. Methods We analysed all available HIV‐1 capsid sequences (n = 21 646) from individuals never exposed to LEN from the Los Alamos National ...

Stochastic simulations suggest that HIV-1 survives close to its error threshold. [PDF]
The use of mutagenic drugs to drive HIV-1 past its error threshold presents a novel intervention strategy, as suggested by the quasispecies theory, that may be less susceptible to failure via viral mutation-induced emergence of drug resistance than ...

Intra-Host Diversity of Dengue Virus in Mosquito Vectors
Dengue virus (DENV) is the most common arbovirus, causing a significant burden on both the economy and global healthcare systems. The virus is transmitted by Aedes species of mosquitoes as a swarm of closely related virus genomes, collectively referred ...

Quasispecies are clouds of genotypes that appear in a population at mutation-selection balance. This concept has recently attracted the attention of virologists, because many RNA viruses appear to generate high levels of genetic variation that may enhance the evolution of drug resistance and immune escape. The literature on these important evolutionary

Modeling viral coevolution: HIV multi-clonal persistence and competition dynamics [PDF]
The coexistence of different viral strains (quasispecies) within the same host are nowadays observed for a growing number of viruses, most notably HIV, Marburg and Ebola, but the conditions for the formation and survival of new strains have not yet been ...

Selective expansion of viral variants following experimental transmission of a reconstituted feline immunodeficiency virus quasispecies [PDF]
Following long-term infection with virus derived from the pathogenic GL8 molecular clone of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), a range of viral variants emerged with distinct modes of interaction with the viral receptors CD134 and CXCR4, and ...
