SARS AND MERS: GENETIC CREATIVITY

As is the case in the majority of RNA viruses, coronaviruses mutate at a high rate (Steinhauer and Holland 1986). Within any one afflicted individual, coronavirus particles do not show a homogeneous population. Instead, they function as a pool of genetically variant strains known as quasi species. This is due to the high error frequency of RNA polymerases, the presence of deletion mutants, the high frequency of RNA recombination and point mutations, and the occurrence of defective-interfering RNA (DI RNA). The net result of these diverse and complex mechanisms is the continuous spawning of novel virions and divergent quasi species. Some of the genetic creations will find themselves at an advantage in negotiating new host antibody responses and pharmacological antiviral countermeasures; they will propagate accordingly, thus expanding their ecological terrain. Other genetic creations will be too lethal to their hosts, work against their own survival, and will prove to be nonadaptive. If we can speak of a viral psychology, an efficient survival balance aims somewhere between defeat by host defenses on one hand, and viral suicide through aggressive lethality on the other.
