Adaptive Evolution of Virulence-Related Traits in a Susceptible-Infected Model with Treatment

Evolution problem is now a hot topic in the mathematical biology field. This paper investigates the adaptive evolution of pathogen virulence in a susceptible-infected (SI) model under drug treatment. We explore the evolution of a continuous trait, virulence of a pathogen, and consider virulence-depe...
