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.

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.

This study uses a mathematical model to analyze how lysis inhibition in T-even phages provides competitive advantages in different environments.
