Fig. 1.

Target cells, T, which are cells susceptible to infection, are infected by virus, V, with rate constant β. Target cells are assumed to be made by a source at rate s and to die at per capita rate dT. Infected cells, I, produce virus as rate p per cell and die at rate δ per cell. Free virus particles, V, are cleared at per capita rate c.
