Individual-based model highlights the importance of trade-offs for virus-host population dynamics and long-term co-existence

Fig 6

Model’s sensitivity to trade-off-based vs random infection processes.

Host (a-d, i-l) and virus population dynamics (e-h, m-p) shown for closed systems and open systems with washout rate 0.2 h⁻¹ for genotypic compatibility and genotypic virulence (, , upper left), genotypic compatibility and random virulence (, , upper right), random compatibility and genotyipc virulence (, , lower left) and random compatibility and random virulence (, , lower right). Ensemble averages of 100 simulations (lines) with standard deviation (shaded areas) lasting for T = 720 h are shown. Sub-panels show virus dynamics on adjusted y-axis scales.
