Schema of the model of Mallet (2009). Illustrated are the infection and clearance events incorporated in the model of [2], showing parameterisation in the nomenclature of the model’s original publication. Cell infection occurs as a function of local extracellular particle number (C), while clearance events are governed by a local infection signal (I), computed as a historic measure of the number of neighbouring cells to have been infected. Each event occurs with likelihood given by (1), for parameters and inputs shown in red; associated delays are given in green. For a full list of parameter values, see [2].
