| Key feature | Definition |
---|---|---|
(i) | Multiplication factor | The 2-day multiplication factor by which the parasite density was multiplied in the absence of any immunity (no units) |
(ii) | Critical effective density | The critical parasite density at which the current multiplication factor was reduced by 50% (PRBC/µl) |
(iii) | Cumulative effective density | The cumulative parasite density at which the current multiplication factor was reduced by 50% (PRBC/µl) |
(iv) | Delay of the onset of adaptive immunity | The delay required by the adaptive immunity to become effective (days) |
(v) | Density at the first maximum | Density at the first maximum (PRBC/µl) |
