Relationship among initial gametocyte density, gametocyte longevity, and duration of infectiousness. (A) Changes in gametocyte density over time according to the initial gametocyte density (per μL): 105 (black line), 104 (blue line), 103 (red line). (B) Infectivity to mosquito as a function of gametocyte density (per μL). (C) Probability of infectivity to mosquito over time at different initial gametocyte densities. (D) Duration of infectiousness related to initial gametocyte density without (solid line) and with (dotted line) primaquine follow-up treatment.
