Review on the role of host genetic factors in the susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2
Background: Severe acute respiratory system Cov-2 pandemic has affected the world populations for more than one year. Different incidence and severity of this viral disease among various age range and individuals with different background disease may indicate the pivotal role of host genetic factors in their prevalence and mortality rate. In this regards, present study was performed to review t...
متن کاملBetween-host Evolution of Mutation-rate and Within-host Evolution of Virulence
It has been recently realized that parasite virulence (the harm caused by parasites to their hosts) can be an adap-tive trait. Selection for a particular level of virulence can happen either at at the level of between-host tradeoos or as a result of shortsighted within-host competition. This paper describes some simulations which study the eeect that mod-iier genes for changes in mutation rate ...
متن کاملCoupled within-host and between-host dynamics and evolution of virulence.
Mathematical models coupling within- and between-host dynamics can be helpful for deriving trade-off functions between disease transmission and virulence at the population level. Such functions have been used to study the evolution of virulence and to explore the possibility of a conflict between natural selection at individual and population levels for directly transmitted diseases (Gilchrist ...
متن کاملCoupling Within-Host and Between-Host Infectious Diseases Models
Biological processes occur at distinct but interlinked scales of organization. Yet, mathematical models are often focused on a single scale. Recently, there has been a significant interest in creating and using models that link the withinhost dynamics and population level dynamics of infectious diseases. These types of multi-scale models, called immuno-epidemiological models, fall in four categ...
متن کاملVaccination, within-host dynamics, and virulence evolution.
We explore the potential consequences of vaccination on parasite epidemiology and evolution. Our model combines a microscopic (within-host dynamics) and a macroscopic (epidemiological dynamics) description of the interaction between the parasite and its host. This approach allows relevant epidemiological traits such as parasite transmission, parasite virulence, and host recovery to emerge from ...
