Developmental synchrony and extraordinary multiplication rates in pathogenic organisms

2024-02-21

Abstract excerpt

The multiplication rates of pathogenic organisms influence disease progression, efficacy of immunity and therapeutics, and potential for within-host evolution. Thus, accurate estimates of multiplication rates are essential for biological understanding. We recently showed that common methods for inferring multiplication rates from malaria infection data substantially overestimate true values (i.e., under simulated...
