To understand joint effects of logistic growth in target cells and intracellular delay on viral dynamics in vivo, we carry
out two-parameter bifurcation analysis of an in-host model that describes infections of many viruses including HIV-I, HBV
and HTLV-I. The bifurcation parameters are the mitosis rate r of the target cells and an intracellular delay τ in the incidence of viral infection. We describe the stability region of the chronic-infection equilibrium E* in the two-dimensional (r, τ) parameter space, as well as the global Hopf bifurcation curves as each of τ and r varies. Our analysis shows that, while both τ and r can destabilize E* and cause Hopf bifurcations, they do behave differently. The intracellular delay τ can cause Hopf bifurcations only when r is positive and sufficiently large, while r can cause Hopf bifurcations even when τ = 0. Intracellular delay τ can cause stability switches in E* while r does not. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose a mathematical model of viral infection in pest control. As the viral infection induces host lysis
which releases more virus into the environment, on the average ‘κ’ viruses per host, κ∈(1,∞), so the ‘virus replication parameter’ is chosen as the main parameter on which the dynamics of the infection depends.
There exists a threshold value κ
0 beyond which the infection persists in the system. Still for increasing the value of κ, the endemic equilibrium bifurcates towards a periodic solution, which essentially indicates that the viral pesticide has
a density-dependent ‘numerical response’ component to its action. Investigation also includes the dependence of the process
on predation of natural enemy into the system. A concluding discussion with numerical simulation of the model is also presented. 相似文献

We consider a two-dimensional model of cell-to-cell spread of HIV-1 in tissue cultures, assuming that infection is spread
directly from infected cells to healthy cells and neglecting the effects of free virus. The intracellular incubation period
is modeled by a gamma distribution and the model is a system of two differential equations with distributed delay, which includes
the differential equations model with a discrete delay and the ordinary differential equations model as special cases. We
study the stability in all three types of models. It is shown that the ODE model is globally stable while both delay models
exhibit Hopf bifurcations by using the (average) delay as a bifurcation parameter. The results indicate that, differing from
the cell-to-free virus spread models, the cell-to-cell spread models can produce infective oscillations in typical tissue
culture parameter regimes and the latently infected cells are instrumental in sustaining the infection. Our delayed cell-to-cell
models may be applicable to study other types of viral infections such as human T-cell leukaemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1).

The dynamics of a general in-host model with intracellular delay is studied. The model can describe in vivo infections of HIV-I, HCV, and HBV. It can also be considered as a model for HTLV-I infection. We derive the basic reproduction
number R
0 for the viral infection, and establish that the global dynamics are completely determined by the values of R
0. If R
0≤1, the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and the virus are cleared. If R
0>1, then the infection persists and the chronic-infection equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable. Furthermore, using
the method of Lyapunov functional, we prove that the chronic-infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when
R
0>1. Our results shows that for intercellular delays to generate sustained oscillations in in-host models it is necessary have
a logistic mitosis term in target-cell compartments. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate strategies in the monotherapy treatment of HIV infection in the presence of drug-resistant
(mutant) strains. A mathematical system is developed to model resistance in HIV chemotherapy. It includes the key players
in the immune response to HIV infection: virus and both uninfected CD4+ and infected CD4+ T-cell populations. We model the latent and progressive stages of the disease, and then introduce monotherapy treatment.
The model is a system of differential equations describing the interaction of two distinct classes of HIV—drug-sensitive (wild
type) and drug-resistant (mutant)—with lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. We then introduce chemotherapy effects. In the
absence of treatment, the model produces the three types of qualitative clinical behavior—anuninfected steady state, andinfected steady state (latency), andprogression to AIDS. Simulation of treatment is provided for monotherapy, during theprogression to AIDS state, in the consideration of resistance effects. Treatment benefit is based on an increase or retention in CD4+ T-cell counts together with a low viral titer. We explore the following treatment approaches: an antiviral drug which reduces
viral infectivity that is administered early—when the CD4+ T-cell count is ≥300/mm3, and late—when the CD4+ T-cell count is less than 300/mm3. We compare all results with data. When treatment is initiated during the progression to AIDS state, treatment prevents T-cell
collapse, but gradually loses effectiveness due to drug resistance. We hypothesize that it is the careful balance of mutant
and wild-type HIV strains which provides the greatest prolonged benefit from treatment. This is best achieved when treatment
is initiated when the CD4+ T-cell counts are greater than 250/mm3, but less than 400/mm3 in this model (i.e. not too early, not too late). These results are supported by clinical data. The work is novel in that
it is the first model to accurately simultate data before, during and after monotherapy treatment. Our model also provides
insight into recent clinical results, as well as suggests plausible guidelines for clinical testing in the monotherapy of
HIV infection. 相似文献

We examine a generalised SIR model for the infection dynamics of four competing disease strains. This model contains four
previously-studied models as special cases. The different strains interact indirectly by the mechanism of cross-immunity;
individuals in the host population may become immune to infection by a particular strain even if they have only been infected
with different but closely related strains. Several different models of cross-immunity are compared in the limit where the
death rate is much smaller than the rate of recovery from infection. In this limit an asymptotic analysis of the dynamics
of the models is possible, and we are able to compute the location and nature of the Takens–Bogdanov bifurcation associated
with the presence of oscillatory dynamics observed by previous authors.

We compared by chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence imaging the effects of two strains of the same virus (Italian and Spanish strains
of the Pepper mild mottle virus — PMMoV-I and-S, respectively) in the host plant Nicotiana benthamiana. The infection was visualized either using conventional Chl fluorescence parameters or by an advanced statistical approach,
yielding a combinatorial set of images that enhances the contrast between control and PMMoV-infected plants in the early infection
steps. Among the conventional Chl fluorescence parameters, the non-photochemical quenching parameter NPQ was found to be an
effective PMMoV infection reporter in asymptomatic leaves of N. benthamiana, detecting an intermediate infection phase. The combinatorial imaging revealed the infection earlier than any of the standard
Chl fluorescence parameters, detecting the PMMoV-S infection as soon as 4 d post-inoculation (dpi), and PMMoV-I infection
at 6 dpi; the delay correlates with the lower virulence of the last viral strain. 相似文献

We study a system of differential equations that models the population dynamics of an SIR vector transmitted disease with two pathogen strains. This model arose from our study of the population dynamics of dengue
fever. The dengue virus presents four serotypes each induces host immunity but only certain degree of cross-immunity to heterologous
serotypes. Our model has been constructed to study both the epidemiological trends of the disease and conditions that permit
coexistence in competing strains. Dengue is in the Americas an epidemic disease and our model reproduces this kind of dynamics.
We consider two viral strains and temporary cross-immunity. Our analysis shows the existence of an unstable endemic state
(‘saddle’ point) that produces a long transient behavior where both dengue serotypes cocirculate. Conditions for asymptotic
stability of equilibria are discussed supported by numerical simulations. We argue that the existence of competitive exclusion
in this system is product of the interplay between the host superinfection process and frequency-dependent (vector to host)
contact rates.

Polymorphisms in several host genes in HIV-infected individuals facilitate slow progression to AIDS. We have identified several SIV-infected Indian rhesus macaques that naturally control viral replication. We investigated whether spontaneous control of SIV in any of these animals could be explained by mutations in host genes. Such variables could confound studies of associations between MHC class I alleles and control of viral replication. We searched for polymorphisms in CCR5, CXCR6, GPR15, RANTES, IL-10, APOBEC3G, TNF-α, and TSG101 and looked for associations with decreased viral replication. We did not detect any correlations between plasma viral concentration and polymorphisms in host genes examined in this study. In addition, we did not find the polymorphisms present in humans in any of our macaques.Nucleotide sequence data reported are available in the GenBank database under accession numbers DQ890030–DQ890063, DQ887987–DQ888038, DQ902356–DQ902543, and DQ913647–DQ913733. 相似文献

We study an epidemiological model which assumes that the susceptibility after a primary infection is r times the susceptibility before a primary infection. For r = 0 (r = 1) this is the SIR (SIS) model. For r > 1 + (μ/α) this model shows backward bifurcations, where μ is the death rate and α is the recovery rate. We show for the first time that for such models we can give an expression for the minimum effort required to eradicate the infection if we concentrate on control measures affecting the transmission rate constant β. This eradication effort is explicitly expressed in terms of α,r, and μ As in models without backward bifurcation it can be interpreted as a reproduction number, but not necessarily as the basic reproduction number. We define the relevant reproduction numbers for this purpose. The eradication effort can be estimated from the endemic steady state. The classical basic reproduction number R
0 is smaller than the eradication effort for r > 1 + (μ/α) and equal to the effort for other values of r. The method we present is relevant to the whole class of compartmental models with backward bifurcation.Dedicated to Karl Peter Hadeler on the occasion of his 70th birthday. 相似文献

We consider the interaction between a general size-structured consumer population and an unstructured resource. We show that
stability properties and bifurcation phenomena can be understood in terms of solutions of a system of two delay equations
(a renewal equation for the consumer population birth rate coupled to a delay differential equation for the resource concentration).
As many results for such systems are available (Diekmann et al. in SIAM J Math Anal 39:1023–1069, 2007), we can draw rigorous
conclusions concerning dynamical behaviour from an analysis of a characteristic equation. We derive the characteristic equation
for a fairly general class of population models, including those based on the Kooijman–Metz Daphnia model (Kooijman and Metz in Ecotox Env Saf 8:254–274, 1984; de Roos et al. in J Math Biol 28:609–643, 1990) and a model introduced
by Gurney–Nisbet (Theor Popul Biol 28:150–180, 1985) and Jones et al. (J Math Anal Appl 135:354–368, 1988), and next obtain
various ecological insights by analytical or numerical studies of special cases. 相似文献

Summary A Monte Carlo simulation is proposed to study the dynamics of helper T-cells (N
H) and viral (N
V) populations in an immune response model relevant to HIV. Cellular states are binary variables and the interactions are described
by logical expressions. Viral population shows a nonmonotonic growth before reaching a constant value while helper T-cells
grow to a constant after a relaxation/reaction time. Initially, the population of helper cells grows with time with a power-law,
N
H ∼t
β, before reaching the steady-state; the growth exponent β increases systematically (β ≈ 1 – 2) with the mutation rate (P
mut≈0.1–0.4). The critical recovery time (t
c) increases exponentially with the viral mutation, t
c≈Ae
αP
mut
, with α=4.52±0.29 in low mutation regime and α=15.21±1.41 in high mutation regime. The equilibrium population of helper T-cell
declines slowly with P
mut and collapses at ∼ 0.40; the viral population exhibits a reverse trend, i.e., a slow increase before the burst around the
same mutation regime. 相似文献

New stochastic models are developed for the dynamics of a viral infection and an immune response during the early stages of infection. The stochastic models are derived based on the dynamics of deterministic models. The simplest deterministic model is a well-known system of ordinary differential equations which consists of three populations: uninfected cells, actively infected cells, and virus particles. This basic model is extended to include some factors of the immune response related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) infection. For the deterministic models, the basic reproduction number, R0, is calculated and it is shown that if R0<1, the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable and is globally asymptotically stable in some special cases. The new stochastic models are systems of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) models that account for the variability in cellular reproduction and death, the infection process, the immune system activation, and viral reproduction. Two viral release strategies are considered: budding and bursting. The CTMC model is used to estimate the probability of virus extinction during the early stages of infection. Numerical simulations are carried out using parameter values applicable to HIV-1 dynamics. The stochastic models provide new insights, distinct from the basic deterministic models. For the case R0>1, the deterministic models predict the viral infection persists in the host. But for the stochastic models, there is a positive probability of viral extinction. It is shown that the probability of a successful invasion depends on the initial viral dose, whether the immune system is activated, and whether the release strategy is bursting or budding. 相似文献

Multiple transmission pathways exist for many waterborne diseases, including cholera, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and Campylobacter. Theoretical work exploring the effects of multiple transmission pathways on disease dynamics is incomplete. Here, we consider
a simple ODE model that extends the classical SIR framework by adding a compartment (W) that tracks pathogen concentration in the water. Infected individuals shed pathogen into the water compartment, and new
infections arise both through exposure to contaminated water, as well as by the classical SIR person–person transmission pathway.
We compute the basic reproductive number (ℛ0), epidemic growth rate, and final outbreak size for the resulting “SIWR” model, and examine how these fundamental quantities
depend upon the transmission parameters for the different pathways. We prove that the endemic disease equilibrium for the
SIWR model is globally stable. We identify the pathogen decay rate in the water compartment as a key parameter determining
when the distinction between the different transmission routes in the SIWR model is important. When the decay rate is slow,
using an SIR model rather than the SIWR model can lead to under-estimates of the basic reproductive number and over-estimates
of the infectious period. 相似文献

This paper introduces a model for the evolution of positive HIV population and manifestation of AIDS (acquired immunideficiency
syndrome). The focus is on the nature of the transference rate of HIV to AIDS. Expert knowledge indicates that the transference
rate is uncertain and depends strongly on the viral load and the CD4+ level of the infected individuals. Here, we suggest to view the transference rate as a fuzzy set of the viral load and
CD4+ level values. In this case the dynamic model results in a fuzzy model that preserves the biological meaning and nature
of the transference rate λ. Its behavior fits the natural history of HIV infection reported in the medical science domain. The paper also includes a
comparison between the fuzzy model and a classic Anderson’s model using data reported in the literature. 相似文献

Abstract
The dynamics of a marine virus–host system were investigated at different steady state growth rates in chemostat cultures
and the data were analyzed using a simple model. The virus–host interactions showed strong dependence on host cell growth
rate. The duration of the infection cycle and the virus burst size were found to depend on bacterial growth rate, and the
rate of cell lysis and virus production were positively correlated with steady state growth rate in the cultures (r
2 > 0.96, p < 0.05). At bacterial growth rates of 0.02 to 0.10 h−1 in the chemostats the virus burst size increased from 12 ± 4 to 56 ± 4, and the latent period decreased from 2.0 to 1.7 h.
Resistant clones of the host strain were present in the cultures from the beginning of the experiment and replaced the sensitive
host cells following viral lysis in the cultures. Regrowth of resistant cells correlated significantly (r
2= 1.000, p < 0.02) with the lysis rate of sensitive cells, indicating that release of viral lysates stimulated growth of the non-infected,
resistant cells. The constructed model was suitable for simulating the observed dynamics of the sensitive host cells, viruses
and resistant clones in the cultures. The model was therefore used in an attempt to predict the dynamics of this virus–host
interaction in a natural marine environment during a certain set of growth conditions. The simulation indicated that a steady
state relationship between the specific viruses and sensitive and resistant bacterial clones may occur at densities that are
reasonable to assume for natural environments. The study demonstrates that basic characterization and modeling of specific
virus–host interactions may improve our understanding of the behavior of bacteria and viruses in natural systems.

Gammaherpesvirus infection of the central nervous system (CNS) has been linked to various neurological diseases, including
meningitis, encephalitis, and multiple sclerosis. However, little is known about the interactions between the virus and the
CNS in vitro or in vivo. Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68 or γHV-68) is genetically related and biologically similar to human gammaherpesviruses, thereby providing a tractable animal model
system in which to study both viral pathogenesis and replication. In the present study, we show the successful infection of
cultured neuronal cells, microglia, and astrocytes with MHV-68 to various extents. Upon intracerebroventricular injection
of a recombinant virus (MHV-68/LacZ) into 4–5-week-old and 9–10-week-old mice, the 4–5-week-old mice displayed high mortality
within 5–7 days, while the majority of the 9–10-week-old mice survived until the end of the experimental period. Until a peak
at 3–4 days post-infection, viral DNA replication and gene expression were similar in the brains of both mouse groups, but
only the 9–10-week-old mice were able to subdue viral DNA replication and gene expression after 5 days post-infection. Pro-inflammatory
cytokine mRNAs of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin 1β, and interleukin 6 were highly induced in the brains of the 4–5-week-old
mice, suggesting their possible contributions as neurotoxic factors in the agedependent control of MHV-68 replication of the
CNS.

We study the global dynamics of n-species competition in a chemostat with distributed delay describing the time-lag involved in the conversion of nutrient
to viable biomass. The delay phenomenon is modelled by the gamma distribution. The linear chain trick and a fluctuation lemma are applied to obtain the global limiting behavior of the model. When each population can survive if it is cultured alone,
we prove that at most one competitor survives. The winner is the population that has the smallest delayed break-even concentration, provided that the orders of the delay kernels are large and the mean delays modified to include the washout rate (which
we call the virtual mean delays) are bounded and close to each other, or the delay kernels modified to include the washout factor (which we call the virtual delay kernels) are close in L
1-norm. Also, when the virtual mean delays are relatively small, it is shown that the predictions of the distributed delay
model are identical with the predictions of the corresponding ODEs model without delay. However, since the delayed break-even
concentrations are functions of the parameters appearing in the delay kernels, if the delays are sufficiently large, the prediction
of which competitor survives, given by the ODEs model, can differ from that given by the delay model.

Transient dynamics and early diagnostics in infectious disease 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To date, mathematical models of the dynamics of infectious disease have consistently focused on understanding the long-term
behavior of the interacting components, where the steady state solutions are paramount. However for most acute infections,
the long-term behavior of the pathogen population is of little importance to the host and population health. We introduce
the notion of transient pathology, where the short-term dynamics of interaction between the immune system and pathogens is the principal focus. We identify
the amplifying effect of the absence of a fully operative immune system on the pathogenesis of the initial inoculum, and its
implication for the acute severity of the infection. We then formalize the underlying dynamics, and derive two measures of
transient pathogenicity: the peak of infection (maximum pathogenic load) and the time to peak of infection, both crucial to understanding the early dynamics of infection and its consequences for early intervention.

Synopsis We estimated the abundance of a small population of threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, by mark-recapture over a 21 year period. Length-frequency analysis showed that the population in October consisted almost
entirely of young-of-the-year. The per capita annual rate of increase was inversely related to abundance in October. Time
series analysis suggested the presence of a cycle of abundance with a period of about 6 years. There was a significant inverse
relationship between abundance in year t and in year t + 3. A simple, empirical, deterministic model based on this inverse relationship and run for 100 years predicted that population
abundance showed damped oscillations leading to a stable abundance. When a stochastic component was added to the model, seven
of 10 runs included a component with a period of about 6 years. These simulations suggest that the dynamics of this population
are driven by an interaction between a deterministic (density-dependent) component and a stochastic component. We compare
these results with time series of abundance of threespine stickleback obtained from the Thames Estuary in south-east England
and Loch Lomond in Scotland. 相似文献
