| Abstract | Infection by Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a widespread cause of progressive immunodeficiency and death. The mechanisms of virus transmission and infection are well-documented from many experimental studies. These show that the infection of CD4+ T Cells by HIV happens by two distinct mechanisms: transmission by free viruses, and cell-cell transmission in which viral particles are transmitted directly across a tight junction or synapse between an infected and an uninfected cell. In this paper, a mathematical model of HIV transmission including both the free virus and cell-cell transmission pathways is introduced. A variation of this model is considered including two populations of virus. The first infects cells only by the free virus pathway, and the second infects cells by either the free virus or the cell-cell pathway. Steady-state and bifurcation analyses are performed on this model. A simple formula is presented describing the bifurcation point for local stability of a steady-state solution consisting entirely of the first viral subtype. This is equivalent to the conditions for invasion by a synapse-forming HIV variant. Synapse-forming HIV is shown to provide an evolutionary advantage relative to non synapse-forming virus when the average number of virus transmitted across a synapse is a sufficiently small fraction of the burst size. The exact bifurcation point depends on the fitness of the non synapse-forming virus and the likelihood of successful infection as a function of multiplicity of infection. These results are important for understanding synaptic transmission in HIV, which has been identified as a possible cause of continued replication during antiviral therapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
