Contact structure and population immunity shape the selective advantage of emerging variants

2025-11-09

Abstract excerpt

Epidemics are shaped by the interplay between host and pathogen population characteristics, which are themselves intertwined. In particular, host behavior and immunity profile shape pathogen population structure by affecting both the likelihood of new variant emergence and its subsequent dynamics. Theoretical studies provide a fragmented description of this complex dynamical dependency, and the empirical evidence...
