The meaning of persistent infections in nature
Bull World Health Organ.
1975.
Abstract
Viruses that cause persistent infections maintain themselves more effectively in nature than those causing acute and limited infections. There is a tendency for persistent viruses to evolve towards a state of minimal pathogenicity in the host. Vertical transmission, with integration of viral into host genome, represents the state of perfect parasitism.
