A population-dynamic model for evaluating the potential spread of drug-resistant influenza virus infections during community-based use of antivirals.

A mathematical model of influenza transmission dynamics is used to simulate the impact of neuraminidase inhibitor therapy on infection rates and transmission of drug-resistant viral strains. The model incorporates population age structure, seasonal transmission, immunity and inclusion of elderly nur...
