The relationship of within-host multiplication and virulence in a plant-virus system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Virulence does not represent any obvious advantage to parasites. Most models of virulence evolution assume that virulence is an unavoidable consequence of within-host multiplication of parasites, resulting in trade-offs between within-host multiplication

Molecular basis for a lack of correlation between viral fitness and cell killing capacity. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2007 The relationship between parasite fitness and virulence has been the object of experimental and theoretical studies often with conflicting conclusions. Here, we provide direct experimental evidence that viral fitness and virulence, both measured in the ...

Virulence of H5N1 virus in mice attenuates after
Virology Journal, 2011 The virulence of A/Vietnam/1194/2004 (VN1194) in mice attenuated after serial passages in MDCK cells and chicken embryos, because the enriched large-plaque variants of the virus had significantly reduced virulence.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014 For the last three decades, evolutionary biologists have sought to understand which factors modulate the evolution of parasite virulence. Although theory has identified several of these modulators, their effect has seldom been analysed experimentally. We

Monoclonal antibodies to a virulent strain of transmissible gastroenteritis virus: comparison of reactivity with virulent and attenuated virus [PDF]
Archives of Virology, 1988 Twelve hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Miller virulent strain of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) were generated and characterized. In a cell culture immunofluorescence (CCIF) assay, three MAbs directed against peplomer protein (E2) had perinuclear fluorescence and four unclassified MAbs showed cell membrane ...

Increasing clinical virulence in two decades of the Italian HIV epidemic. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 The recent origin and great evolutionary potential of HIV imply that the virulence of the virus might still be changing, which could greatly affect the future of the pandemic.
