The balance between fitness advantages and costs drives adaptation of bacteriophage Qβ to changes in host density at different temperatures
IntroductionHost density is one of the main factors affecting the infective capacity of viruses. When host density is low, it is more difficult for the virus to find a susceptible cell, which increases its probability of being damaged by the physicochemical agents of the environment. Nevertheless, v...
