Overestimating resistance in field testing of malaria parasites: simple methods for estimating high EC<sub>50 </sub>values using a Bayesian approach

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Conventional methods of assessing in-vitro antimalarial drug-concentration effect relationships in field testing of fresh isolates assess each parasite isolate individually. This leads to systematic overestimation of EC<sub>50 </sub>values for the mos...
