Interplay between evolutionary and epidemic time scales challenges the outcome of control policies
Santiago Lamata-Otín, Alex Arenas, Jesús Gómez-Gardeñes +1
The classical SIR model, assuming constant viral traits, represents the cornerstone model for computing key indicators during epidemic outbreaks, such as the expected peak of infec…
Nonlinear competition avoidance favors coexistence in microbial populations
Mattia Mattei, David Soriano-Paños, Alex Arenas
Bacteria regulate their motility through a variety of mechanisms, including quorum sensing (QS) and other density-dependent responses mediated by diffusible signals. While nonlinea…
Structured Interactions Drive Abrupt Transitions in the Spatial Organization of Microbial Communities
Mattia Mattei, David Soriano Paños, Mahantesh Halappanavar +1
Bacteria possess diverse mechanisms to regulate their motility in response to environmental and physiological signals, enabling them to navigate complex habitats and adapt their be…
Genotype networks drive oscillating endemicity and epidemic trajectories in viral evolution
Santiago Lamata-Otín, Octavian C. Rotita-Ion, Alex Arenas +2
Rapidly evolving viruses use antigenic drift as a key mechanism to evade host immunity and persist in real populations. While traditional models of antigenic drift and epidemic spr…
Eco-evolutionary constraints for the endemicity of rapidly evolving viruses
David Soriano-Paños
Antigenic escape constitutes the main mechanism allowing rapidly evolving viruses to achieve endemicity. Beyond granting immune escape, empirical evidence also suggests that mutati…
