Within-host Virulence Evolution

Within-Host Virulence Evolution is a theoretical framework in infectious disease ecology that specifically characterizes the adaptive changes in pathogen virulence traits occurring inside individual hosts due to selective pressures exerted by host immune responses, resource availability, and intra-host competition.
