>The opposite may also be true. The science around replacing DWV-A with B is still ongoing, and since DWV-B replicates at greater speeds than A, its eventual dominance over A seems inevitable. In terms of virulence, the viral landscape is unpredictable.
I readily accept this thought and appreciate the input.
I mention the DWV-B bit only because it appears to both comport well with Dr. Martin's predictions relative to eventual DWV-B dominance and observations that mirror my own in other contemporary resistance studies around the globe.
Could a stable, dominant, and less-virulent strain of DWV-B ultimately be part of the solution towards stable population-level resistance development?
