In the last two decades, viruses have become the model system to witness evolution in the laboratory. Large population sizes, high mutation rates, and short generation times are the three features that permit to carry out in vitro experiments under controlled conditions. In this contribution we brie

We explored the evolutionary importance of two factors in the adaptation of RNA viruses to their cellular hosts, size of viral inoculum used to initiate a new infection, and mode of transmission (horizontal versus vertical). Transmission bottlenecks should occur in natural populations of viruses and
