RNA viruses provide unique insights into the patterns and processes
of evolutionary change in real time. The study of viral evolution
is especially topical given the growing awareness that emerging and
re-emerging diseases (most of which are caused by RNA viruses)
represent a major threat to public health. However, while the study
of viral evolution has developed rapidly in the last 30 years,
relatively little attention has been directed toward linking work
on the mechanisms of viral evolution within cells or individual
hosts, to the epidemiological outcomes of these processes. This
novel book fills this gap by considering the patterns and processes
of viral evolution across their entire range of spatial and
temporal scales. The Evolution and Emergence of RNA Viruses
provides a comprehensive overview of RNA virus evolution, with a
particular focus on genomic and phylogenetic approaches. This is
the first book to link mechanisms of viral evolution with disease
dynamics, using high-profile examples in emergence and evolution
such as influenza, HIV, dengue fever, and rabies. It also reveals
the underlying evolutionary processes by which emerging viruses
cross species boundaries and spread in new hosts.
