“…Using virus production as a surrogate, most of the time there is evidence of adaptation [Chen et al, 2003;Ciota et al, 2007bCiota et al, , 2008Ciota et al, , 2009Coffey et al, 2008;Cooper and Scott, 2001;Llewellyn et al, 2002;Moutailler et al, 2011;Romanova et al, 2007;Vasilakis et al, 2009], but occasionally there are no measurable changes [Ciota et al, 2007c].
