Fig. 1

Identified within-host models of asexual parasite blood stage infection. Models are ordered by their publication date on the vertical and horizontal axis, with models adapted from another model displayed on the same row and linked with arrows. Dashed squares represent models that have been used in IBMs according to the systematic review of [6], and colored squares highlight the models that are simulated in this study, where the colours correspond to the results plotted in Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6. Text in each box indicates a brief description of the main features or differences of the models. A more detailed description of the models can be found in the supplementary material or in the source publications [17, 18, 21,22,23,24,25,26, 31]
