Table 1 Biological significance of variables and parameters
From: The global dynamics in a wild-type and drug-resistant HIV infection model with saturated incidence
Variable/Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
T(t) | concentrations of uninfected target cells at time t |
\(T_{s}{(t)}\) | concentrations of cells productively infected by wild-type virus at time t |
\(T_{r}{(t)}\) | concentrations of cells productively infected by drug-resistant virus at time t |
\(V_{s}{(t)}\) | concentrations of wild-type virus at time t |
\(V_{r}(t)\) | concentrations of drug-resistant virus at time t |
λ | recruitment rate of uninfected cells |
d | death rate of uninfected cells |
\(k_{s}\) | infection rate of target cells by wild-type virus |
\(k_{r}\) | infection rate of target cells by drug-resistant virus |
δ | death rate of infected cells |
\(N_{s}\) | burst size of wild-type strain |
\(N_{r}\) | burst size of drug-resistant strain |
c | clearance rate of free virus |
