This study compares parasite biomass in spleen-intact and splenectomized patients with acute P. vivax malaria, finding that 89% of total-body parasite biomass is splenic.

This study models Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte dynamics in humans using a mathematical model validated by Bayesian inference, revealing key parameters affecting malaria transmission.

The paper uses mathematical models to predict that short-course bedaquiline regimens could reduce MDR-TB treatment to 18 weeks with high success rates.
