The virusandthehost: A matter ofconflictingaims The virus: topersist in thepopulation The host: topropagate (humans ??) Forthevirus: twooptions: „hitandrun“ or: „infectandpersist
Examples: Hit andrun: rabies, mumps Infectandpersist: herpes, lenti
Rabies: the fate of the host video
The twooptionshavelimitations: • „hit and run“ works if: • probability of transmission to next host host is high • parameters:structure, density and dynamics of host population ? • extent and duration of viral shedding ? • dose required for infection? Most oftheseinfectionscanbecontrolledbyvaccination Vaccinesagainstmostoftheseinfectionsareproblematic „infect and persist“ works if - cost for infected individual islowto moderate - virusmust be able to outsmartitshost‘simmune system - forlife ! 6 1
