Comparison of gametocyte model outputs to malaria therapy data.

1See ref [25]. Three properties of within-host gametocyte dynamics were imputed from malaria therapy data. The properties are DS, the gametocyte sequestration time in days; , the average gametocyte conversion probability; and L, the length of time gametocytes persist in circulation. The first column for each parameter lists the value from 113 malaria therapy patients [25]. 2Gametocyte properties were calculated from the mechanistic malaria model outputs using best-fit gametocytemic parameters. Model values are from 50 samples of 113 runs each, from a total of 1,000 runs. The end time for all runs was 800 days.
