Characterization of the endemic equilibrium and response to mutant injection in a multi-strain disease model.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Mar 2015

Aquino Tomás, Bolster Diogo, Nunes Ana

Abstract excerpt

We explore a model of an antigenically diverse infection whose otherwise identical strains compete through cross-immunity. We assume that individuals may produce upon infection different numbers of antibody types, each of which matches the antigenic configuration of a particular epitope, and that one matching antibody type grants total immunity against a challenging strain. In order to reduce the number of...
