Models for the in-host dynamics of malaria revisited: errors in some basic models lead to large over-estimates of growth rates
Parasitology.
1998 Nov.
Abstract
The mathematical model of the in-host dynamics for malaria parasites of Anderson, R. M., May, R. M. & Gupta, S. (1989), Parasitology 99 (Suppl.) S59-S79, and subsequently used by other authors, contains an error. This leads to very substantial over-estimates in parasite growth rates. A corrected form of the model is presented in this paper.
