Viral counts, V , during a superinfection scenario. Viral counts, V, during a superinfection scenario. We set N = 5 and no mutation is considered, thus Ī¼ = 0. (a) A slow mounting of the second viral infection (ā”), having time scale of several months, is observed. In (b) a compromised immune system is considered. The time for the second strain to reach the same abundance of the first-infecting strain (ā) is greater than in (a).
