Flu Virus Ill-Suited For Rapid Transmission, But Researchers Say New Strain Bears Watching, Could Mutate

A team from MIT and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found a genetic explanation for why the new H1N1 “swine flu” virus has spread from person to person less effectively than other flu viruses. The H1N1 strain, which circled the globe this spring, has a form of surface protein that binds inefficiently to receptors found in the human respiratory tract, the team reports in the July 2 online edition of Science.

Incorporating Demographic Stochasticity Into Multi-strain Epidemic Models: Application To Influenza A

We develop mathematical models of the transmission and evolution of multi-strain pathogens which incorporate strain extinction and the stochastic generation of new strains via mutation. The dynamics resulting from these models are then examined with the applied aim of understanding the mechanisms underpinning the evolution and dynamics of rapidly mutating pathogens, such as human influenza viruses.
