Modelling the Effects of Traits and Abiotic Factors on Viral Lysis in Phytoplankton

A mechanistic system dynamics description is developed of the interactions between a single lytic-virus – phytoplankton-host couple. The model has state variables for virus, uninfected and infected host biomass, and describes virus and host allometry and physiology. The model, analogous to experimen...
