Figure 4. Differences in within-host ecological parameters reveal functional diversity linked to resilience to malaria infection.

(a) Strain-specific variation, $s$, in each parameter of the set $\theta \ni ({\mu }_R^{\prime },{\mu }_R^{\prime \prime },\rho ,{\psi }_{N_1},{\psi }_{N_2},\beta )$. The eight strains are ordered according to overall survival percentage from the top (see Figure 1). The average parameter value across the eight strains is indicated by $s=0$. (b) Ordered parameter stacks show functional similarities and differences between individual mice of different strains (indicated by colours). Each slice of a stack represents the median estimate for an individual mouse.
