aDenominator excludes those studies where unable or no basis to judge
bSome studies used multiple data types
cViremia duration and dynamics (n = 3); sexual contact network (n = 2); semen viral persistence (n = 2), non-human primate demographics (n = 1), mammalian diversity (n = 1)
dSome studies used both stochastic and deterministic models
