There is a need to understand how selection pressure imposed via population-level immunity and transmission combine to shape the observed evolution of influenza viruses (Fig 1)
How do antigenic drift, herd immunity, and human behavior combine to influence outbreaks? patterns of cross-reactive antibody responses against circulating influenza viruses have been well characterized [13] and the landscape of antibody responses can be mapped at the individual host level [7], it has been challenging to estimate the population-level transmission potential of a specific virus from available data
Summary
The role of human immunity and social behavior in shaping influenza evolution Adam J. There is a need to understand how selection pressure imposed via population-level immunity and transmission combine to shape the observed evolution of influenza viruses (Fig 1).
