Predicted Relationship between Age and Parasitaemia or Clinical Disease for the Different Models of Immunity

(A,B) No immunity; (C,D) immunity acting on clearance of subpatent parasites (immunity function 3); (E,F) immunity acting on clearance of detectable parasites (immunity function 2); (G,H) immunity acting on susceptibility to clinical disease (immunity function 1); (I,J) immunity acting on clearance of detectable parasites and susceptibility to clinical disease (immunity functions 1 and 2). Parameters are as shown in Table 1.
