    Snippet: On the other hand, the newly emerging variant in the Mut hypothesis has a 60 per cent chance of early extinction [24] because it has a low effective reproduction number R e 1.7 (electronic supplementary material, text S5) and only one host initially infected. This latter choice can be justified a posteriori: the ML estimated level of antigenic escape is high (s ML 20% ) and similar to that of antigenic cluster transitions occurring each 2-8 years.....
    Document: On the other hand, the newly emerging variant in the Mut hypothesis has a 60 per cent chance of early extinction [24] because it has a low effective reproduction number R e 1.7 (electronic supplementary material, text S5) and only one host initially infected. This latter choice can be justified a posteriori: the ML estimated level of antigenic escape is high (s ML 20% ) and similar to that of antigenic cluster transitions occurring each 2-8 years at the scale of the global human population [25, 26] . However, we demonstrate in electronic supplementary material, text S6, that the AIC, the s ML and the risk of extinction are only weakly sensitive to the relaxation of this assumption.
