Defective interfering (DI) viruses are thought to cause oscillations in virus levels, known as the 'Von Magnus effect'. Interference by DI viruses has been proposed to underlie these dynamics, although experimental tests ...

[EN] Understanding the evolution of virulence for RNA viruses is essential for developing appropriate control strategies.
Although it has been usually assumed that virulence is a consequence of within-host replication of ...

[EN] The tremendous evolutionary potential of RNA viruses allows them to thrive despite host defense mechanisms and endows them with properties such as emergence, host switching, and virulence. The frequency of mutant ...

[EN] We propose and study nonlinear mathematical models describing the intracellular time
dynamics of viral RNA accumulation for positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses. Our
models consider different replication modes ...

One of the striking features of many eukaryotes is the apparent amount of redundancy in coding and non-coding elements of their genomes. Despite the possible evolutionary advantages, there are fewer examples of redundant ...

[EN] Empirical observations and theoretical studies suggest that viruses may use different replication strategies to amplify their genomes, which impact the dynamics of mutation accumulation in viral populations and ...

[EN] The distribution of mutational fitness effects (DMFE) is crucial to the evolutionary fate of quasispecies. In this article we analyze the effect of the DMFE on the dynamics of a large quasispecies by means of a ...
