Intra-host mathematical models of malaria.
2014
Santos, G. | Torres, N. V.
Mathematical modelling of intra-host malaria is a relatively recent topic. Although the first mathematical model related to malaria was proposed by Sir Ronald Ross in 1915, the first attempt to model the parasite-host interactions was as recent as 1989. Since then, a moderate but steadily growing number of articles dealing with this topic have been published, including a couple of reviews. In this review, we aim to sum up the knowledge that this particular mathematical modelling approach has provided with respect to the role played by <i>Plasmodium</i> in infection mechanisms.
