      <abstract>
        <p>The present work shows that it is possible to analytically solve a general model to explain the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2. First, the within-host model is described, and later a between-host model, where the coupling between them is the viral load of SARS-CoV-2. The within-host model describes the equations involved in the life cycle of SARS-CoV-2, and also the immune response; while that the      between-Host model analyzes the dynamics of virus spread from the original source of contagion associated with bats, subsequently transmitted to a host, and then     reaching the reservoir (Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan ), until finally infecting the human population.</p>

      <title>Introduction</title>
      <p>The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 27 cases with a new severe         respiratory syndrome of unknown etiology from Wuhan (Hubei province) in China <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841658684">1</xref>. Later identifies that it is a β-Coronavirus after sequencing the first days of           January 2020 <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841662644">2</xref>. They originally called it 2019-nCOV, and after a month, it was     renamed Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), where the disease it produces is Covid-19. The WHO declared it an international public health emergency on January 30, 2020, and it was later declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020 <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841767268">3</xref>.</p>
      <p>So far the world has faced three coronavirus associated outbreaks. .The first was called SARS-CoV-1 <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841521564">4</xref>, and it originated in the province of Guangdong Province in China: eight thousand cases were confirmed with a little less than eight hundred deaths in 2002 (affecting 29 countries until January 2004).The second incident was traced in Saudi Arabia, and for this reason, it was named MERS-CoV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus), its first case was reported in June 2012 until November 2018, registered 2,494 cases after affecting 27 countries <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841509596">5</xref>. SARS-CoV-2 has infected more than 757 million people and 6 million deaths  approximately until February 23, 2023, according to Johns Hopkins University (data available at              coronavirus.jhu.edu).</p>
      <p>It is currently a public health problem. Multiple vaccines have been developed to  control the spread of the disease and to reduce the number of infections recorded    daily in various parts of the world. However, it is necessary to do more studies, for example, on how to reduce the application of multiple doses regimens for a person, and so on. It can probably do identification of genomic patterns capable of generating an immune response in people derived from epitopes, as has been tested in other    diseases <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841512908">6</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841510748">7</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841496300">8</xref>, and later can be automated with the help of specialized workflows for automatic data handling <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841500260">9</xref>.</p>
      <p>Until this is achieved, it is necessary to develop mathematical models to design the public policies         necessary to contain said infections based mainly on the implementation of social distancing measures, the use of face masks, quarantine programs and vaccination campaigns, etc.</p>
      <p>In the scientific literature, there is a wide range of mathematical models that explain, for example, the contagion dynamics in various countries without a consensus on the prediction methodology (some examples in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841485980">10</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841482596">11</xref>). Other works explain the transmission of viral particles in the environment <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841479068">12</xref>, and also studies have also been carried out where they analyze the response of the immune system <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841492892">13</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841487852">14</xref>. However, it is necessary to integrate all these approaches on the same time scale. This process is known as immuno-epidemiological models of infectious disease systems <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841452700">15</xref> where they are described from a cellular level to the spread in the population. This type of model has been used in the dynamics of contagion in HIV-1 with a system of six differential equations <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841449460">16</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841444780">17</xref>, as well as the paper of Murillo et al <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841458532">18</xref> by studying a multiscale model to explain the Influenza infection in 2013. </p>
      <p>The present work presents a general model to explain the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2, dividing the model in two sections. We first studied the within-host scale which we will divide into two different levels. The first consists of twelve compartments to describe the life cycle of SARS-CoV-2, and later the immune response. Finally, the between-host model consists of twelve compartments to describe the transmission of the virus from the source that gave rise to the virus (bats), the host (pangolins probably), the reservoir (Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan), until reaching the population human where we have added a compartment to explain the environmental viral load, a key element to integrate both scales. </p>

        <title>SARS-CoV-2 life cycle</title>
        <p>The virus is a single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Coronaviridae family, Coronavirinae                subfamily <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841438516">19</xref>. The first reading frame, known as ORF1ab (the largest gene), occupies two-thirds of the virus sequence, approximately 28-32 kb. It is a 5’-capped and 3’-polyadenylated positive-sense             single-strand RNA (+ssRNA), non-segmented and similar to the structure found in messenger RNA of eukaryotic cells.The replication of the virus begins when the S protein of SARSCoV-2 binds directly to the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. Once the virus has entered the host cell, it is released into the cytoplasm, starting the replication process that will give rise to non-structural proteins and also accessory proteins, with four structural proteins. The formation of RNA(-) and also replication and transcription of RNA subgenomics. These subgenomic RNAs(-) are transcribed into mRNAs(+) which encode the structural proteins S, M, E, N, and accessory proteins. During the replication process, the N protein of the virus binds to the genome, while the M protein associates with the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Finally, the virions are secreted by exocytosis <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841438516">19</xref>. </p>
        <p>Recently Isea and Mayo-Garc´ıa <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841435708">20</xref> have proposed the first analytical solution for the life cycle of SARS-CoV-2 according to the previous description. This model can be seen in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="idm1841486036">figure 1</xref>, where it has been divided into four levels in different colors, where the first explains the cell entry, the second the genome transcription and replication, then the translation of structural and accessory proteins, and finally the assembly and eventual releases of new virions from the cell. The twelve variables that are going to describe the SARS-CoV-2 life cycle model are shown in <xref ref-type="table" rid="idm1841484452">Table 1</xref>, so the equations are simply (details in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841435708">20</xref>): </p>

          <title>Modelling the immune response</title>
          <p>The immune response that is triggered in people as a result of infection by SARSCoV-2 virions has been described in various models in the scientific literature <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841430164">21</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841428436">22</xref>, but most posts solve it numerically. Furthermore, recent studies have associated a storm of cytokines generated by SARS-CoV-2 such that it leads lymphocytes to the lungs in search of infection, and thus maintains the replication and transmission of the virus <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841402172">23</xref>. </p>

        <p>The analytical resolution of the system of equations generates twelve different scenarios represented by the twelve critical points, where the following critical point notation (where <italic>i</italic> runs from 1 to 12) has been used to identify each of the scenarios derived in the work.</p>

          <p>The next step is to determine the equilibrium conditions. The following notation has been used to       describe the eigenvalues: the superscript indicates the critical point, while the subscript is the number of different eigenvalues obtained. For example, λ<sub>3</sub><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841658684">1</xref>corresponds to the third eigenvalue of the first critical point. By doing this, three different eigenvalues are obtained:</p>

          <p>The first two eigenvalues correspond to the equilibrium condition when the virus is not present in bats or in the host, while the last three correspond to con- ditions in the human population. These values must be adjusted with the records of contagions made in the world, as will be explained in future works.</p>

The values obtained were: β <sub>P</sub><sup>W </sup>= 1.708, β<sub>P</sub> = 1.215, ω<sub>P</sub> = 0.001, Λ<sub>P</sub> = 81.212, µ = 1.100, ε = 0.001 (setting the <italic>m</italic><sub><italic>P</italic></sub> value to 0.0000456).

      <title>Conclusion </title>
      <p>In the present work, a mathematical model has been proposed to study the transmission dynamics of Covid-19 from two different scales where the viral load of the virus is the key to unifying both these time scales. The advantage of this  model is that it is possible to focus on a particular study scheme derived directly from the equilibrium conditions of the system, that is, there is a mathematical basis that justifies the existence of said scenario based on the critical points derived in the work. It should be pinpointed that all the models have been described with a deterministic model and the conditions to reach equilibrium have been obtained in most of them. In the next publication, the between-host model will be analyzed considering the sensitivity analysis and also the measures of social distancing and how quarantine affects the dynamics of contagion will be described. </p>
