Figure 2.
Time course of the CD4 cells in presence of co-infection with different HIV infection rates of malaria immune cells kTm. Figures illustrate the CD4 cell dynamics from day 550 to day 900 keeping N and kv constant: kv = 1.2 × 10-5 and N = 200. For A, kTm = kv, the virus rapidly infects the new target cells impeding the proliferation of the CD4 cells. In B, kTm = kv/10, the effect of the overexploitation of target cells by the virus is still evident. In C and D this effect is diminished, with kTm = kv/20 and kTm = kv/30 respectively.
