Predicting the likelihood and intensity of mosquito infection from sex specific Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte density

Predicting the likelihood and intensity of mosquito infection from sex specific Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte density

Understanding the importance of gametocyte density on human-to-mosquito transmission is of immediate relevance to malaria control. Previous work (Churcher et al., 2013) indicated a complex relationship between gametocyte density and mosquito infection. Here we use data from 148 feeding experiments o...
