The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is now a global pandemic. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative pathogen of COVID-19. Here, we study an in-host model that highlights the effector T cell response to SARS-CoV-2. The stability of a unique positive equilibrium point, with viral load suggests that the virus may replicate fast enough to overcome T cell response and cause infection. This overcoming is the bifurcation point, near which the orders of magnitude for can be sensitive to numerical changes in the parameter values. Our work offers a mathematical insight into how SARS-CoV-2 causes the disease.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)现已成为全球大流行疾病。严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)是COVID-19的致病病原体。在此,我们研究了一个宿主内模型,该模型突出了效应T细胞对SARS-CoV-2的反应。具有病毒载量的唯一正平衡点的稳定性表明,病毒可能复制得足够快,以克服T细胞反应并导致感染。这种克服是分岔点,在该点附近, 的数量级可能对参数值的数值变化敏感。我们的工作为SARS-CoV-2如何引发疾病提供了数学见解。
