Abstract excerpt
We investigate the fate of de novo mutations that occur during the in-host replication of a pathogenic virus, predicting the probability that such mutations are passed on during disease transmission to a new host. Using influenza A virus as a model organism, we develop a life-history model of the within-host dynamics of the infection, deriving a multitype branching process with a coupled deterministic model to...
