The vertical transmission model. (i) Within each of n newly infected hosts, the virus population undergoes t periods of mutation and growth, giving rise to a population of hosts carrying mature virus populations. (ii) A total of n newly infected offspring are produced by sampling with replacement from the set of “parent” hosts. Each offspring carries b virion particles drawn at random from the pathotype frequency distribution in its parent.
