Concepts and methods for predicting viral evolution [PDF]

arXiv
The seasonal human influenza virus undergoes rapid evolution, leading to significant changes in circulating viral strains from year to year. These changes are typically driven by adaptive mutations, particularly in the antigenic epitopes, the regions of the viral surface protein haemagglutinin targeted by human antibodies. Here we describe a consistent

How host mobility patterns shape antigenic escape during viral-immune co-evolution [PDF]

arXiv
Viruses like influenza have long coevolved with host immune systems, gradually shaping the evolutionary trajectory of these pathogens. Host immune systems develop immunity against circulating strains, which in turn avoid extinction by exploiting antigenic escape mutations that render new strains immune from existing antibodies in the host population ...
