Enhanced viral infectivity and reduced interferon production are associated with high pathogenicity for influenza viruses

Correlations between estimated model parameters and tissue damage.
Partial rank correlation coefficients (PRCC) are calculated with respect to (A) the ratio of max epithelium loss between HP and LP strains, and (B) the ratio of the cumulative dead cells between HP and LP strains of H1N1 viruses. The two red dashed lines represent the statistically insignificant values of PRCC. Calculations are based upon 6000 posterior samples from model fitting. PRCC analysis for H5N1 viruses is given in S5 Fig.
