Changes in Population Dynamics in Mutualistic versus Pathogenic Viruses
Although generally regarded as pathogens, viruses can also be mutualists. A number of examples of extreme mutualism (i.e., symbiogenesis) have been well studied. Other examples of mutualism are less common, but this is likely because viruses have rarely been thought of as having any beneficial effects on their hosts. The effect of mutualism on the population dynamics of viruses is a topic that ...
متن کاملPopulation Dynamics of Some Mutualistic Relationships
Symbiosis or mutualism is one of major ecological interactions between two species, where the both species gain benefits via the interactions. We consider the population dynamics of mutualistic interactions with positive density and frequency dependences. We specifically suppose the dynamics of Müllerian mimicry in butterflies for positive density dependence, where the mortality of both species...
متن کاملRethinking the logistic approach for population dynamics of mutualistic interactions.
Mutualistic communities have an internal structure that makes them resilient to external perturbations. Late research has focused on their stability and the topology of the relations between the different organisms to explain the reasons of the system robustness. Much less attention has been invested in analyzing the systems dynamics. The main population models in use are modifications of the r...
متن کاملViruses as nanoparticles: structure versus collective dynamics.
In order to test the application of the "nanoparticle" concept to viruses in terms of low-frequency dynamics, large viruses (140-190 nm) were compared to similar-sized polymer colloids using ultra-small-angle x-ray scattering and very-low-frequency Raman or Brillouin scattering. While both viruses and polymer colloids show comparable highly defined morphologies, with comparable abilities of for...
متن کاملPhylogeography and population dynamics of dengue viruses in the Americas.
Changes in Dengue virus (DENV) disease patterns in the Americas over recent decades have been attributed, at least in part, to repeated introduction of DENV strains from other regions, resulting in a shift from hypoendemicity to hyperendemicity. Using newly sequenced DENV-1 and DENV-3 envelope (E) gene isolates from 11 Caribbean countries, along with sequences available on GenBank, we sought to...
