Tolerance is defined as an interaction in which viruses accumulate to some degree without causing significant loss of vigor or fitness to their hosts.Tolerance can be described as a stable equilibrium between the virus and its host, an interaction in which each partner not only accommodate trade-offs for survival but also receive some benefits (e.g
Interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) are a family of small proteins that localize in the plasma and endolysosomal membranes.IFITMs not only inhibit viral entry into host cells by interrupting the membrane fusion between viral envelope and Napkins cellular membranes, but also reduce the production of infectious virions or infectivity o
