Contact-number-driven virus evolution: a multi-level modeling framework for the evolution of acute or persistent RNA virus infection
Viruses evolve in infected host populations, and host population dynamics affect viral evolution. RNA viruses with a short duration of infection and a high peak viral load, such as SARS-CoV-2, are maintained in human populations. By contrast, RNA viruses characterized by a long infection duration an...
