Abstract excerpt
Existing mathematical models of drift typically assume that influenza A is free to change its antigenic properties without any fitness cost in other respects. This paper asks what might be the impact of antigenic mutations being bound to fitness cost. The effect on drift is explored via a mathematical model. This paper also offers some novel features for multi-strain modeling. In contrast to the unconstrained...
