Amplification and spread of viruses in a growing plaque.

Abstract excerpt

The two-dimensional propagation of viruses through a "lawn" of receptive hosts, commonly called plaque growth, reflects the dynamics of interactions between viruses and host cells. Here we treat the amplification of viruses during plaque growth as a reaction-diffusion system, where interactions among the virus, uninfected host cells, and virus-producing host-virus complexes are accounted for using rates of viral...
