A mathematical model explains virus persistence and fading in cell cultures infected by HCV. As a novelty, the model distinguidhes between three diferent viral fitness traits: replicative, infective, and dispersive. More at:

A mathematical model for fitness effects on viral persistence
Persistent viral infections arise from complex interactions between viral replication, host cell responses, and ongoing viral evolution. A general framework linking viral fitness to persistence dynami...
