Abstract:Viral infection spreads in cell culture or tissue as a reaction–diffusion wave. It is characterized by three main parameters: virus replication number, Rv, which determines whether infection progresses, wave speed, c, which correlates with the virus virulence, and viral load, J(v), which determines the infection transmission rate. In this work, we study how the inflammation triggered by viral infection influences its progression. We obtain analytical expressions for Rv,c, and J(v) and show how they depend on t… Show more
