Changes in the environment generate changes in gene expression patterns. Those changes will also modify the nucleotide and the amino acid pools inside the cell. This over time creates a series of waves of resources inside the cell. Framing a viral infection as a resource optimization problem then a virus will have seasons with low and high resource availability. If the virus adapts to the cellular resources, then the seasonality of the virus could be traced by measuring an environmental variable or by selecting genes with high similarity to the virus.
