Uncovering drivers of dose-dependence and individual variation in malaria infection outcomes.
To understand why some hosts get sicker than others from the same type of infection, it is essential to explain how key processes, such as host responses to infection and parasite growth, are influenced by various biotic and abiotic factors. In many disease systems, the initial infection dose impact...
