Topological dependence of viral mutation spread in complex host-interaction networks.

Abstract excerpt

The increase in the connectivity between hosts in recent times has facilitated the emergence of more aggressive mutant viral strains, making their containment and eradication significantly more challenging compared to the original variants. We focus on the evolution of a new more aggressive mutant strain that appears at specific nodes in the system and competes with a previous version until reaching fixation. The...
