Age and seasonal variation in the transition rates and detectability of Plasmodium falciparum malaria.

Parasitology - 1 Jan 2006

Abstract excerpt

The effect of acquired immunity on the duration of Plasmodium falciparum infections is unclear, although this is an important term in models of malaria transmission. It is problematical to determine the duration of infections because of the difficulty of distinguishing persisting infections from new ones, and because parasite densities are often transiently below the limit of detection. We recently developed a...
