Prisoners of war — host adaptation and its constraints on virus evolution
Recent discoveries of contemporary genotypes of hepatitis B virus and parvovirus B19 in ancient human remains demonstrate that little genetic change has occurred in these viruses over 4,500–6,000 years. Endogenous viral elements in host genomes provide separate evidence that viruses similar to many...
