Gametocyte dynamics and duration of infectiousness with different timings of primaquine administration. (A) Changes in the density of each parasite developmental stage over time with different timings of primaquine administration. Pharmacokinetic curve of primaquine (dotted line) related to waves of asexual parasite, A g (dashed line), immature gametocytes, I g (grey line), and mature gametocytes, M g (solid red line). Initial asexual parasite (A g ) 10/μL (B) Duration of infectivity of humans to mosquitoes over different timings of primaquine administration after acute attack.
