An immigration-death model to estimate the duration of malaria infection when detectability of the parasite is imperfect.

Statistics in medicine - 15 Nov 2005

Abstract excerpt

Immigration-death models are proposed to analyse the infection dynamics in longitudinal studies of panels of heavily parasitized human hosts where parasites have been typed at regular intervals by PCR. Immigration refers to the acquisition of a new parasitic genotype, occurring at rate lambda, and death refers to the clearance of a parasitic genotype (with rate mu). The models assume that corresponding to each...
