Dynamic models of viral replication and latency
PURPOSE OF REVIEW HIV targets primary CD4(+) T cells. The virus depends on the physiological state of its target cells for efficient replication, and, in turn, viral infection perturbs the cellular state significantly. Identifying the virus-host interactions that drive these dynamic changes is important for a better understanding of viral pathogenesis and persistence. The present review focuses...
متن کاملViral latency in HIV disease
The term "latency" is often applied to infections caused by herpesviruses, wherein viral replication and disease manifestations appear concordantly after long intervals of silence. In the case of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), an asymptomatic period of "clinical latency" can intervene between infection and the development of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Freedom from ...
متن کاملSimulation of Pedestrian Dynamics with Macroscopic and Microscopic Mathematical Models
Here, we collect two parts of a research project on the pedestrian flow modeling. Rapid growth in the volume of public transport and the need for its reasonable, efficient planning have made the description and modeling of transport and pedestrian behaviors as important research topics in the past twenty years. First, we present a macroscopic model for the pedestrian flow based on continuum mec...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of Viral Zoonoses in Wildlife.
Zoonoses are a worldwide public health concern, accounting for approximately 75% of human infectious diseases. In addition, zoonoses adversely affect agricultural production and wildlife. We review some mathematical models developed for the study of viral zoonoses in wildlife and identify areas where further modeling efforts are needed.
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of HCV Viral Kinetics
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a single-stranded RNA virus that infects the hepatocytes of the liver. Infected cells become damaged and release alanine aminotransferase (ALT), which exists normally within liver cells. Our main goal in this project was to determine the usefullness of ALT levels to determine the outcome of HCV treatment and viral load levels. As part of our investigations, we first l...
