Revisiting the circulation time of <it>Plasmodium falciparum </it>gametocytes: molecular detection methods to estimate the duration of gametocyte carriage and the effect of gametocytocidal drugs

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>There is renewed acknowledgement that targeting gametocytes is essential for malaria control and elimination efforts. Simple mathematical models were fitted to data from clinical trials in order to determine the mean gametocyte circu...
