The evolution of virus–induced apoptosis
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1997 Viruses from several different families are able to exploit their host's cell death programmes so as to maximize viral fitness. Consideration of the evolution of such strategies has lead to the suggestion that the virus should inhibit apoptosis, in order to prolong the life of the cell and thereby maximize the number of progeny virions.

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus: Origin Hypothesis
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome is a serious swine disease that appeared suddenly in the midwestern United States and central Europe approximately 14 years ago; the disease has now spread worldwide. In North America and Europe, the syndrome

Evolution and Epidemiology of Chikungunya Virus
, 2016 Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne Alphavirus that is spreading worldwide in the tropical areas and that has a 11.8 kb RNA genome. The most relevant vectors belong to the genus Aedes and contribute to the diffusion of the three different genotypes of the virus from the original site of first identification in East Africa.

Dinucleotide evolutionary dynamics in influenza A virus [PDF]
, 2019 Significant biases of dinucleotide composition in many RNA viruses including influenza A virus have been reported in recent years. Previous studies have showed that a codon-usage-altered influenza mutant with elevated CpG usage is attenuated in mammalian

The mode and tempo of hepatitis C virus evolution within and among hosts
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a rapidly-evolving RNA virus that establishes chronic infections in humans. Despite the virus' public health importance and a wealth of sequence data, basic aspects of HCV molecular evolution remain poorly understood.
