Virus mutation by artificially guided selection

[QUOTE="Rive, post: 6863410, member: 324024"] The keyword there will be the 'working', I think. The virus already needs to be able to actually infect the host (just just being injected/exposed won't do) so new viruses could be produced for any adaptation to happen. If no actual infection happens then the immune system will just clean up the unknown trash and then the experiment ends. In a petri dish there will be a longer, undisturbed exposure (and more, controlled tools/means/circumstances might be available) for species-jumping to happen. It's about two different approaches for different purposes. [/QUOTE]
