Bridging spatial scales in respiratory viral infection

The paper introduces LEAP, a mathematical model of respiratory viral infection that captures local plaque growth and long-range seeding, showing that few long-range events are needed for viral spread and that interferon has limited impact on growth in well-adapted viruses.

Stochasticity in viral infection and host response: A competition between speed and reliability

This study models stochasticity in viral release and IFN response to show how timing variability affects early infection dynamics, finding asymmetrical impacts on virus expansion and host containment.
