AbstractA key aim in the dynamics and control of infectious diseases is predicting competitive outcomes of pathogen interactions. Observed pathogen community structure indicates both considerable coexistence of related variants and spectacular instances of replacement, notably in seasonal influenza and SARS-CoV-2. However, an overall comparative quantitative framework for invasion and coexistence remains elusive.
