Reducing uncertainty in within-host parameter estimates of influenza infection by measuring both infectious and total viral load.

For in vivo studies of influenza dynamics where within-host measurements are fit with a mathematical model, infectivity assays (e.g. 50% tissue culture infectious dose; TCID50) are often used to estimate the infectious virion concentration over time. Less frequently, measurements of the total (infec...
