The data for HIV-1 are derived from the work of Wei et al. (95), Ho et al. (39), Perelson et al. (73), and Bagnarelli et al. (2). The data for HBV are derived from the work of Nowak et al. (67). The data for HCV are derived from the work of Neumann et al. (65) and Manzin et al. (53). ND, not done; UD, undetectable.
