STOCHASTIC MODELS FOR BACTERIOPHAGE,

Abstract

This review paper surveys work done in recent years on models for bacterial virus. The first section introduces the biological processes involved in phage reproduction and the extinction of bacterial colonies. Thereafter various models are examined for phage reproduction and mutation in bacteria, age distribution of vegetative phage, the extinction of bacterial colonies, and models for attachment of phage to bacteria and of antibody to virus. Approximately 40 references are given to papers in the field. (Author)
