Role of stochastic processes in maintaining discrete strain structure in antigenically diverse pathogen populations.
Many highly diverse pathogen populations appear to exist stably as discrete antigenic types despite evidence of genetic exchange. It has been shown that this may arise as a consequence of immune selection on pathogen populations, causing them to segregate permanently into discrete nonoverlapping sub...
