RNA virus quasispecies populations can suppress vastly superior mutant progeny.
A variant clone of vesicular stomatitis virus recovered from a high-passage, evolving virus population replicated rapidly and produced remarkably high yields of virus, but these variants never dominated during further passages. We show that this clone is highly competitive, but it can overwhelm its progenitor population only when seeded above threshold level during dilute passages.
متن کاملQuasispecies dynamics and RNA virus extinction.
The extinction of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is strongly influenced by mutation rates, types of mutations, relative viral fitness and virus population regimens during infection. Here we review experimental results and theoretical models that describe a contrast between the effective extinction of FMDV subjected to increased mutagenesis, and the remarkable resistance to extinction of th...
متن کاملThe RNA virus quasispecies: fact or fiction?
In their recent review, Más et al. propose that the existence of quasispecies has become a universal rule for RNA viruses and may be extended to other biological systems. Although the historical perspective on quasispecies theory provided by Más et al. serves as a valuable introduction to the subject, their article presents a polarized view of the applicability of quasispecies theory to RNA vir...
متن کاملQuasispecies theory for finite populations.
We present stochastic, finite-population formulations of the Crow-Kimura and Eigen models of quasispecies theory, for fitness functions that depend in an arbitrary way on the number of mutations from the wild type. We include back mutations in our description. We show that the fluctuation of the population numbers about the average values is exceedingly large in these physical models of evoluti...
متن کاملQuasispecies of dengue virus
Pathogenic viruses have RNA genomes that cause acute and chronic infections. These viruses replicate with high mutation rates and exhibit significant genetic diversity, so-called viral quasispecies. Viral quasispecies play an important role in chronic infectious diseases, but little is known about their involvement in acute infectious diseases such as dengue virus (DENV) infection. DENV, the mo...
