    Snippet: Previous theoretical studies of evolutionary emergence of novel pathogens [12] [13] [14] [15] have assumed infected individuals are, at any point in time, infected primarily by a single pathogen strain. Consequently, shifts from infection with one strain to infection with another must occur abruptly, relative to other processes. Such abrupt shifts could correspond to within-host selective sweeps or, if mutant strains remain at low frequency, to r.....
    Document: Previous theoretical studies of evolutionary emergence of novel pathogens [12] [13] [14] [15] have assumed infected individuals are, at any point in time, infected primarily by a single pathogen strain. Consequently, shifts from infection with one strain to infection with another must occur abruptly, relative to other processes. Such abrupt shifts could correspond to within-host selective sweeps or, if mutant strains remain at low frequency, to rare events in which only the mutant strain is transmitted. The seminal studies [12, 13] showed that under these conditions the probability of emergence is proportional to the frequency of these events, which they bundled together into a phenomenological "mutation rate".
