A model of HIV-1 infection with two time delays: Mathematical analysis and comparison with patient data

Abstract: Mathematical models have made considerable contributions to our understanding of HIV dynamics. Introducing time delays to HIV models usually brings challenges to both mathematical analysis of the models and comparison of model predictions with patient data. In this paper, we incorporate two delays, one the time needed for infected cells to produce virions after viral entry and the other the time needed for the adaptive immune response to emerge to control viral replication, into an HIV-1 model. We begin model … Show more

“…Ciupe et al [8] included a time delay representing the time needed to activate the CD8+ T cell response in a model. Pawelek et al [33] incorporated two delays, one the time needed for infected cells to produce virus and the other the time needed for CD8+ T cells to emerge to kill infected cells. The model was fit to the viral load data from patients during primary infection.…”

“…The model was fit to the viral load data from patients during primary infection. Some special cases of the model with two delays have been mathematically analysed [33]. However, the stability switching curves for the infected steady state when both delays are positive have not been investigated.…”

“…Biologically, it has been proved that the prime target of HIV-1 is CD4 + T lymphocytes (large portion of white blood cells in the immune system). Mathematical models in epidemiology and immunology have given considerable contribution to understand the behaviour of disease transmission (Rong et al, 2007;Sedaghat et al, 2007;Wedagedera, 2011;Pawelek et al, 2012). Hence, these results play a noticeable role to improve various kinds of drug therapies.…”

“…In addition, stability analysis may determine the basin of attraction of each equilibrium, that is, the region of coexistence and the region of extinction. Aside from predator-prey systems, some research works on virus infection of CD4 + cells have been performed in [16][17][18][19][20]. In their works, mathematical models describing infection dynamics have infection-free equilibrium and chronic-infection equilibrium.…”
