Random failure and deliberate attack tolerance of intraviral and human interactomes. A, Changes in the characteristic path length (CPL) (as a multiple of the original value) during the progressive random removal of nodes in intraviral and human interactomes, simulating random failures. B, Changes in the network size, i.e. number of nodes, (as a fraction of the original value) during the progressive random removal of nodes in intraviral and human interactomes, simulating random failures. C, Changes in the characteristic path length (CPL) (as a multiple of the original value) during the progressive removal of nodes in degree-decreasing order in intraviral and human interactomes, simulating deliberate attacks. D, Changes in the network size, i.e. number of nodes, (as a fraction of the original value) during the progressive removal of nodes in degree-decreasing order in intraviral and human interactomes, simulating deliberate attacks.
