Effects of contact structure on the transient evolution of HIV virulence
Fig 6
Distribution (points) and trend (smooth line) of summary statistics (y-axis, rows) as a function of parameter values (x-axis, columns), some of which have been scaled to calibrate the initial epidemic growth rate. Changing parameters may have differing effects for models with different contact structures: for example, partnership dissolution rate (c, third column) increases peak time and virulence in models without explicit pair formation but decreases them in more realistic models.
