Epidemic Models and Protective Mutations

2021-04-22

Abstract excerpt

The paper proposes and discusses an epidemic model which assumes that a population, affected to a disease, is (partially) protected from the disease. These protections may be generated by some inherited genetic mutations; mutations favoured by the presence, in the past, of a deadly endemic disease (the Haldane hypothesis). The protections can also have a non-genetic origin: the cause can be the age or the sex of t...
