ABSTRACT Avian influenza viruses are ubiquitous in the Anatinae subfamily of aquatic birds and occasionally spill over to poultry. Infection with low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses generally leads to subclinical or mild clinical disease. In contrast, highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses emerge from low pathogenic forms and can cause severe ...

Pre-S Deletions are Predominant Quasispecies in HIV/HBV Infection: Quasispecies Perspective.
Combined HIV infection can accelerate HBV-induced liver disease. It is known that HBV Pre-S deletion is closely related to HBV-associated terminal liver disease in HBV mono-infection. Currently, data on HBV Pre-S quasispecies feature deletion in HIV/HBV co-infected patients are lacking.The characteristics and blood samples of patients with chronic HBV ...

Viruses as Quasispecies: Biological Implications [PDF]
During viral infections, the complex and dynamic distributions of variants, termed viral quasispecies, play a key role in the adaptability of viruses to changing environments and the fate of the population as a whole. Mutant spectra are continuously and avoidably generated during RNA genome replication, and they are not just a by-product of error-prone

Mutation, Quasispecies, and Lethal Mutagenesis
Viral pathogenesis is not alien to the evolutionary history of a virus. Picornaviruses, simply by the fact of sharing a phylogenetic position, need not be associated with similar diseases, reflecting that the nature of the interactions with their host organisms may depend in a subtle manner on minimal genetic change of the virus.

The quasispecies model was introduced in 1971 by Manfred Eigen to discuss the first stages of life on Earth. It provides an appealing mathematical framework to study the evolution of populations in biology, for instance viruses. We present briefly the model and we focus on its stationary solutions.
