Definition in article intro is vague. Could use Ramping Up Flu Vaccine Efforts which says "replikins—the lysine and histidine residues in the hemagglutinin unit genetic sequences of the eight major genes in the influenza virus. ... those replikins are strain-specific and determine the virus’ rate of replication. High counts (e.g., seven replikins per 100 amino acids) indicate an outbreak is imminent. Lower counts (four per 100 amino acids) indicate the virus will remain dormant indefinitely.
