PCR results and estimations. (a) Parasite density during challenge follow up. (b) Mean parasite growth rate estimated from PCR data. (c) Infected hepatocyte numbers estimated from PCR data correlate with time to parasitaemia. The annotations (‘y = ’) give the number of infected hepatocytes for points close (but not equal to) zero. (d) Data shown in (c) but separated by study group. Error bars in (a) are the standard error of the mean and horizontal lines in (b) and (d) represent the geometric mean.
