    "abstract": "We introduce and discuss a minimal individual-based model for influenza\ndynamics. The model takes into account the effects of specific immunization\nagainst viral strains, but also infectivity randomness and the presence of a\nshort-lived strain transcending immunity recently suggested in the literature.\nWe show by simulations that the resulting model exhibits substitution of viral\nstrains along the years, but that their divergence remains bounded. We also\nshow that dropping any of these features results in a drastically different\nbehavior, leading either to the extinction of the disease, to the proliferation\nof the viral strains, or to their divergence.",
