Figure 3.
The probability of artemisinin-resistance emerging at different stages. The dots show the probability of resistance emerging from the sporozoite (Ps), the hepatic merozoite (Ph) and blood stage (Pb). The dotted line represents the range for the probability of resistance emerging in the hepatic merozoite stage (Ph) in the presence of some residual drugs. For the blood stage, the probability of resistance emerging is calculated at cycle 10 when total parasite biomass is equal or above 108.
