The evolution of antigenic sites
• influenza A’s major coat protein is hemagglutinin. • hemagglutinin is the main target of our immune system.
The evolution of antigenic sites
• influenza A’s major coat protein is hemagglutinin. • hemagglutinin is the main target of our immune system. • amino acid sites in hemagglutinin that our immune system recognizes (and remembers) are called antigenic sites.
Phylogenetic analysis of influenza A • Fitch et al. (1991) examined the phylogenetic relationships among flu strains over a 20-year period using hemagglutinin sequences.

Positive selection in the hemagglutinin gene
• positive selection occurs when the rate of replacement substitution exceeds the rate of silent substitution.
Positive selection in the hemagglutinin gene
• positive selection occurs when the rate of replacement substitution exceeds the rate of silent substitution. • in influenza A, there are 18 codons exhibiting higher rates of replacement substitution!

The evolution of virulence
• virulence is a term that describes the effect a pathogen has on its host. high virulence → major effect on host’s fitness low virulence → minor effect on its host’s fitness • three models have been proposed to account for the evolution of virulence.
1. The coincidental evolution hypothesis
• the virulence of many human pathogens is a result of selection acting on that pathogen in a different environment.

2. The short-sighted evolution hypothesis
• since pathogens reproduce within hosts, traits that increase their short-term fitness may actually be detrimental.

3. The trade-off hypothesis
• pathogens should evolve to the point where fitness costs to the host are balanced by its capacity to propagate itself to other hosts.
