Parameter | Interpretation |
---|---|
Rate of activation of each hypnozoite (the inverse is the expected duration of hypnozoite carriage) | |
Mean size of successful sporozoite inoculum (i.e. number of sporozoites that undergo immediate development or form a viable hypnozoite that is destined to activate) | |
Probability that a successful sporozoite becomes a hypnozoite that will subsequently activate ( undergo immediate development) | |
Force of inoculation (i.e. infective anopheline vector bite rate per human) at time | |
Proportional reduction in the probability of a symptomatic bloodstream P. vivax infection for each hypnozoite activation and immediate sporozoite development event between the ages of 2 and 15 y | |
Shape coefficient for the age-dependent anti-disease masking probability |
