Notre revue sur l'Ʃvolution de la #virulence du #SarsCoV2 est parmi les articles les plus tƩlƩchargƩs de @JEB en 2022 !

Nous avons de la chance d'avoir l'@eseb et de telles revues de sociƩtƩs savantes !

Une version #openaccess de l'article est sur #HAL :

SARS‐CoV‐2 virulence evolution: Avirulence theory, immunity and trade‐offs

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a resurgence of the debate on whether hostparasite interactions should evolve towards avirulence. In this review, we first show that SARS-CoV-2 virulence is evolving, before explaining why some expect the mortality caused by the epidemic to converge towards that of human seasonal alphacoronaviruses. Leaning on existing theory, we then include viral evolution into the picture and discuss hypotheses explaining why the virulence has increased since the beginning of the pandemic. Finally, we mention some potential scenarios for the future.

Our team's review on #SarsCoV2 #virulence #evolution was among the most downloaded papers from @JEB in 2022!

We're lucky to have @eseb and such society journals!

An #openaccess version of the paper is here:

Our new Editorial Board - ESEB | JEB Blog

Hi All,

It is official since a couple of weeks, I am now part of the new associate editors in the @JEB editorial board!

The full list: https://jevbio.net/editorial-board

The official ad: https://jevbio.net/our-new-editorial-board/

(not sure whether there was an announcement on the Fediverse, as whether or not commercial society journals can be hosted in community platforms seems unsure).

Looking forward handling interesting papers in population and quantitative genetics!
