Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- The interior equilibrium configuration of the symmetric multiple strain SIR model with cross-immunity is characterized.
- Subthreshold coexistence driven by cross-immunity is possible even when the isolation reproductive number of one strain is below 1.
- Each strain can mutate to adjacent strains but not diagonally, and distance in terms of cross-immunity is the sum of horizontal and vertical distances.
- The degree of cross-immunity is difficult to measure and probably varies widely with the individual monkey.
- Cross immunity is a phenomenon where infection by one strain induces partial immunity to future infections by other strains.
