Coronaviruses in humans and animals: the role of bats in viral evolution
Environmental science and pollution research international, 2021 Bats act as a natural reservoir for many viruses, including coronaviruses, and have played a crucial epidemiological role in the emergence of many viral diseases. Coronaviruses have been known for 60 years.

Chronic SARS-CoV-2 infection and viral evolution in a hypogammaglobulinaemic individual.
medRxiv, 2021 There is widespread interest in the capacity for SARS-CoV-2 evolution in the face of selective pressures from host immunity, either naturally acquired post-exposure or from vaccine acquired immunity.

The genomes of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses: viral evolution writ large
Microbial Genomics, 2021 The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are a diverse group that currently contain the largest known virions and genomes, also called giant viruses. The first giant virus was isolated and described nearly 20 years ago.

Viral evolution and epidemiology [PDF]
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 1997 This review highlights recent research on viral evolution and its use towards understanding disease pathogenesis and epidemiology. The development of techniques such as enzymatic amplification of viral genomes and automated sequencing has led to a dramatic increase in the amount of sequence information from clinical samples. These sequences (RNA or DNA,

Vaccines, 2021 The antibodies with different effector functions evoked by Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmitted from mother to child, and their role in the pathogenesis of infected children remain unresolved. So, too, the kinetics and breadth of these

SARS‐CoV‐2 biology and variants: anticipation of viral evolution and what needs to be done
Environmental Microbiology, 2021 Summary The global propagation of SARS‐CoV‐2 and the detection of a large number of variants, some of which have replaced the original clade to become dominant, underscores the fact that the virus is actively exploring its evolutionary space.

Scientific Reports, 2021 The rapid emergence and expansion of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants threatens our ability to achieve herd immunity for COVID-19. These novel SARS-CoV-2 variants often harbor multiple point mutations, conferring one or more evolutionarily advantageous traits ...

Evolution is Viral: The Theory of Collective Discontinuous Evolution [PDF]
, 2010 Herein will be discussed the problems associated with the origin of species according to Darwinist processes of individual mutations. We will argue that individual mutations cannot be the driving force of species origination.
