[PDF][PDF] Relationships between host infectivity to mosquitoes and asexual parasite density in Plasmodium falciparum

A Ross, G Killeen, T Smith - American Journal of Tropical Medicine and …, 2006 - Citeseer

[PDF][PDF] Infectiousness of malaria-endemic human populations to vectors

GF Killeen, A Ross, T Smith - American Journal of Tropical Medicine and …, 2006 - Citeseer

F Tediosi, N Maire, T Smith, G Hutton… - American Journal of …, 2006 - academia.edu
An important shortcoming of existing methods for estimating the cost-effectiveness of malaria
control interventions is that the incidence of illness and transmission dynamics are assumed …
