This book will consider these evolutionary variations, as well as the different and, at times, opposing theories attempting to explain them. It will compare and contrast the ways in which the immune system and drugs affect the virus‘s evolution, and the implications of these for vaccine development. The issue will be explored and explained through "ecological genetics," which postulates that all living organisms have, besides rivals, enemies. This is divergent from the more traditional school of "population genetics," which emphasizes that evolution occurs among rival species (or variants thereof) that compete for niches or resources in a fixed, unreactive environment. Both models will be formulated using mathematical models, which will be included in the book. Finally, it will consider the possibilities for designing a vaccine that blocks HIV from escaping the immune system. | | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | | 关键词 | Drug Resistance; HIV/AIDS; Viral Evolution; vaccines | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-7294-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4899-9255-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-7294-0 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 |
