Le Covid en passe de devenir un "virus hivernal" : les contaminations sont en hausse au mois de septembre
Si le virus circule pour l'heure en toutes saisons, le nombre de cas s'est accéléré depuis la rentrée. Les infectiologues espèrent que l'an prochain, le virus sera, comme la grippe, devenu "saisonnier...

Contrary to previous studies, strong assumptions are here relaxed such as Markovian waiting times, long-lasting immunity, and stationary resident strain epidemiology, while investigating the interplay between immune waning, (intrinsic) contagiousness, immune escape, and introduction time.
May 19, 2025 at 2:22 PM
Determining the conditions that enable the spread of a new pathogen strain on top of a current resident one is key for the surveillance and control of infectious diseases -- as shown in #COVID, but this is also of major interest for #Respiratory_Virus_X preparedness.

👏 Another great piece of work by Bastien Reyné, now a reference in non-Markovian & out-of-equilibrium dynamics, at the interface between #epidemiology, #evolutionary_biology, #immunology, with applications to #public_health!

There are >79k articles on the topic and we could "only" list 300 references so apologies to all colleagues we could not cite.
