The time until the host clears infection (y-axis: below h = 0) or the host dies (above h = 0; haematocrit < 24%), when infected, occurs between one and 100 days of age (x-axis). Parameters set to values in Tables 1 and 2. Results are shown for three different values of pf, the number of merozoites released per bursting schizont in foetal RBCs. The number of merozoites released from bursting schizonts in adult RBCs, pa, is 16 for all cases. For more explanation of this figure, see Additional file 2.
