Preliminary evidence for chaotic signatures in host-microbe interactions.

ABSTRACT: Host-microbe interactions constitute dynamical systems that can be represented by mathematical formulations that determine their dynamic nature and are categorized as deterministic, stochastic, or chaotic. Knowing the type of dynamical interaction is essential for understanding the system under study. Very little experimental work has been done to determine the dynamical characteristics of host-microbe interactions, and its study poses significant challenges. The most straightforward experimental outcome involves an observation of time to death upon infection. However, in measuring this outcome, the internal parameters and the dynamics of each particular host-microbe interaction in a population of interactions are hidden from the experimentalist. To investigate whether a time-to-death (tim
