A mathematical model for fitness effects on viral persistence
Persistent viral infections arise from complex interactions between viral replication, host cell responses, and ongoing viral evolution. A general framework linking viral fitness to persistence dynamics is lacking. Here, we develop for the first time a mathematical model of viral persistence that takes into consideration viral fitness variations. Essential to the model is the partition of the…
