A deterministic model for influenza infection with multiple strains and antigenic drift
A deterministic model for influenza infection with multiple strains and antigenic drift
We describe a multiple strain Susceptible Infected Recovered deterministic model for the spread of an influenza subtype within a population. The model incorporates appearance of new strains due to antigenic drift, and partial immunity to reinfection with related circulating strains. It also includes optional seasonal forcing of the transmission rate …
