Virus population dynamics examined with experimental model systems

A second highly significant observation was that VSV clones isolated from a population with a long history of passage in BHK-21 cells displayed a more pronounced fitness decrease when subjected to plaque-to-plaque transfers in the alternative hosts HeLa or MDCK cells than in BHK-21 cells to which the virus was better adapted ( Duarte et al., 1992 ).
