Modelling the evolution of viral oncogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019
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.

Defensin-driven viral evolution. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2020
Enteric alpha-defensins are potent effectors of innate immunity that are abundantly expressed in the small intestine. Certain enteric bacteria and viruses are resistant to defensins and even appropriate them to enhance infection despite neutralization of

Viral evolution during primary infection in immunocompromised hosts. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology
The immune response to viral infection is a delicate balance. By perturbing this balance, immunodeficiencies are expected to influence within-host viral evolution.

The evolution of viral diversity

open access: yes, 2012
This thesis focuses on the population dynamics of three antigenically diverse RNA viruses: dengue, influenza and HIV-1. It comprises a set of studies highlighting the roles of structural constraints on critical antigenic determinants, interactions between immune responses to different antigenic types, host lifespan, and the degree of mixing between ...

Viral Quasispecies Evolution [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2012
SUMMARYEvolution of RNA viruses occurs through disequilibria of collections of closely related mutant spectra or mutant clouds termed viral quasispecies. Here we review the origin of the quasispecies concept and some biological implications of quasispecies dynamics.
