Modelling Optimal Control of In-Host HIV Dynamics Using Different Control Strategies
2018

HIV is one of the major causes of deaths, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper, an in vivo deterministic model of differential equations is presented and analyzed for HIV dynamics. ...
In particular, we establish the optimal strategies for controlling the infection using three treatment regimes as the system control variables. ...

A comparison of computational efficiencies of stochastic algorithms in terms of two infection models
2012
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering
To compare these methods, we used them to analyze two infection models: a Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) infection model at the population level, and a Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) within ...
The numerical results suggest that all three algorithms have the similar computational efficiency for the simpler VRE model, and the SSA is the best choice due to its simplicity and accuracy. ...
The term δ E E 1 T * 1 is used to account for the elimination of infected activated CD4+ T cells T * 1 by the HIV-specific effector CD8+ T cells (that is, T * 1 is eliminated from the system at rate δ ...

2016
PLoS ONE
Peak episode viral load was not found to differ between HIV infected and uninfected participants regardless of CD4+ T-cell count. ...
While the general mechanism underlying this observation is deficient CD4+T-cell function, it is unknown whether increased severity of herpes virus infections is due primarily to poor immune control in ...

Theoretical Design of a Gene Therapy To Prevent AIDS but Not Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection
2003
Journal of Virology
Since the crHIV-1 gene therapy model is a system of stiff differential equations, a Rosenbrock method was used to solve the system of equations. ...
I T cells are also assumed to die at the same rate as T cells since the crHIV-1 is not produced in the absence of HIV-1 infection (an assumption that can be relaxed for some specific therapeutic payloads ...
