Accounting for cross-immunity can improve forecast accuracy during influenza epidemics

2020-07-20

Abstract excerpt

Previous exposure to influenza viruses confers partial cross-immunity against future infections with related strains. However, this is not always accounted for explicitly in mathematical models used for forecasting during influenza outbreaks. We show that, if an influenza outbreak is due to a strain that is similar to one that has emerged previously, then accounting for cross-immunity explicitly can improve the ac...
