From: Time-to-infection by Plasmodium falciparum is largely determined by random factors
Treatment-time-to-infection studies. The results of a previously published treatment-time-to-infection cohort study in Kenya are shown [2]. Parasites were detected by either microscopy (A) or PCR (B). Black shapes are data (joined by dashed lines). Black squares, blue lines – children 1 to 4 years old (y.o.); circles, green line – children 5 to 9 y.o.; triangles, orange line – children 10 to 14 y.o.; diamonds, red line – adults >14 y.o. The solid blue line is the result of fitting the exponential decay model for children 1 to 4 years old.
