Examining the dynamics of Epstein-Barr virus shedding in the tonsils and the impact of HIV-1 coinfection on daily saliva viral loads
Fig 5
Cumulative distribution of parameters b and θ, stratified by HIV-1 status and median EBV viral load in saliva.
Fitting our mathematical model to participant data revealed that parameter b is usually greater in HIV-1 coinfected participants (A) and increases with median EBV viral load (B). Parameter θ is usually lower in HIV-1 coinfected participants (C) and decreases with median saliva EBV viral load (D). Directional arrows and numbers by figure legends indicate the probability that a randomly selected individual of one group has a higher parameter value (be it b or θ) than a randomly selected individual in a second group. Arrows show the direction of comparison.
