Claus O. Wilke
The probability that an advantageous mutant rises to fixation in a viral quasispecies is investigated in the framework of multi-type branching processes. Whether fixation is possib…

Viral evolution under the pressure of an adaptive immune system - optimal mutation rates for viral escape
Christel Kamp, Claus O. Wilke, Christoph Adami +1
Based on a recent model of evolving viruses competing with an adapting immune system [1], we study the conditions under which a viral quasispecies can maximize its growth rate. The…
