    Document: The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not peer-reviewed) is the author/funder. . https://doi.org/10.1101/066688 doi: bioRxiv preprint For short-term infections, the cross-scale reproductive number α is equal to the ratio of the basic reproductive numbers: (5) α = R m R w Thus for short-term infections there is no additional condition required for emergence. Whenever the mutant reproductive number R m exceeds one, there is a mean tendency for the mutant strain to increase in frequency once it has been successfully transmitted to susceptible individuals (i.e. α > 1 because R m > 1 > R w ). The greater the ratio R m /R w , the more rapid the increase in frequency.
