“…Disease models can broadly be divided into between-host analysis-those which analyze spread of the disease from one person to another-and in-host analysis-those which analyze the dynamics of the disease and immune response within a person 41,44,51,15,27,47 . Even in the realm of between-host analysis, there are a variety of approaches one may take including compartmental modeling (as in this study and many of the references below), network models 20,43,17,39,52 , agent-based models 31,32,34,42 , and self-exciting point process models 13,30,24 . Modeling a pandemic with high fidelity would likely require multiscale considerations, so some effort has been devoted to developing combined between-and-within-host models 5,45,12 .…”
