A multi-scale analysis of influenza A virus fitness trade-offs due to temperature-dependent virus persistence.
Successful replication within an infected host and successful transmission between hosts are key to the continued spread of most pathogens. Competing selection pressures exerted at these different scales can lead to evolutionary trade-offs between the determinants of fitness within and between hosts...
