Within-Host Viral Diversity: A Window into Viral Evolution.
The evolutionary dynamics of a virus can differ within hosts and across populations. Studies of within-host evolution provide an important link between experimental studies of virus evolution and large-scale phylodynamic analyses.

Measurements of intrahost viral diversity require an unbiased diversity metric [PDF]
Viruses exist within hosts at large population sizes and are subject to high rates of mutation. As such, viral populations exhibit considerable sequence diversity.

Beneficial coinfection can promote within-host viral diversity
In many viral infections, a large number of different genetic variants can coexist within a host, leading to more virulent infections that are better able to evolve antiviral resistance and adapt to new hosts. But how is this diversity maintained? Why do

Special Issue: “Viral Genetic Diversity”
Some say that small is beautiful, and if beauty could be measured by levels of diversity and complexity, we could definitely say that viruses are beautiful [...]

SIV Evolutionary Dynamics in Cynomolgus Macaques during SIV-Mycobacterium tuberculosis Co-Infection
Co-infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a worldwide public health concern, leading to worse clinical outcomes caused by both pathogens.

Human land use impacts viral diversity and abundance in a New Zealand river
Although water-borne viruses have important implications for the health of humans and other animals, little is known about the impact of human land use on viral diversity and evolution in water systems such as rivers.

Discovery of Viral Myosin Genes With Complex Evolutionary History Within Plankton
Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) infect diverse eukaryotes and form a group of viruses with capsids encapsulating large genomes. Recent studies are increasingly revealing a spectacular array of functions encoded in their genomes, including ...

The long-term evolution of viruses is ultimately due to viral mutants that arise within infected individuals and transmit to other individuals. Here we use deep sequencing to investigate the transmission of viral genetic variation among individuals ...
