Experimental data and predictions of mathematical models A and B. Experimental data for 8 pigs from 3 batches (B1–B3) are depicted in red circles, and corresponding predictions from the mathematical models A and B are shown in blue and black lines, respectively. (a & b) percentage of non-infected PAMs classified as CD163 positive (a) and CD163 negative (b), respectively; (c & d) percentage of infected PAMs classified as CD163 positive (c) and CD163 negative (d), respectively. For model B, equal switching rates for CD163 positive and CD163 negative cells was assumed as this corresponded to the best statistical fit
