Mean total asexual parasite dynamics (A) and gametocyte dynamics (B) following initiation of treatment. Infections were initiated with either very abundant (10⁶, blue lines); abundant (10⁵, red lines); rare (10³, yellow lines); and very rare (10¹, green lines) inoculations of resistant parasites, contemporaneously with 10⁶ susceptible parasites. Drug treatment was given on days 6–9 postinfection. Data are means (± standard error) of the total density of up to 10 mice.
