POPULATION SHIELD. “Most mutations have deleterious effects on viral fitness. Tolerance to mutational load determines the nature and extent of genetic diversity that can be maintained in the population. Thus, viral population diversity results from both the generation of mutations and the tolerance to them; these two factors together drive adaptation and virus evolution.”
