The survival probability of a mutant in a multidimensional population.
We prove a general result about the asymptomatic behaviour of the survival probability of a slightly supercritical multitype Bienaymé-Galton-Watson branching process. This is the complete analogue of a result which Ewens (1968) obtained for a Poisson branching process.
