Description for Quasispecies: From Theory to Experimental Systems
Hardback. Editor(s): Domingo, Esteban; Schuster, Peter. Series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology. Num Pages: 200 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MFN; MJCM; MMFM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This volume brings together recent developments in quasispecies theory extended to variable environments and practical applications in elucidating viral dynamics and treatment designs. In particular, the existence of an error threshold in rugged fitness landscapes has opened the way to a new antiviral strategy termed lethal mutagenesis, which is now under intensive theoretical, experimental and clinical investigation. As such the book explains how an understanding of quasispecies dynamics within infected organisms has increased our knowledge of viral disease events. From a clinical perspective, population dynamics highlights important problems for viral disease control, such as the selection of drug-resistant mutants that ... Read more
