Abstract

The role of human immunity and social behavior in shaping influenza evolution.

  • 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
