Abstract
The mathematical model of the in-host dynamics for malaria parasites of Anderson, R. M., May, R. M. & Gupta, S. (1989), Parasitology99 (Suppl.) S59–S79, and subsequently used by other authors, contains an error. This leads to very substantial over-estimates in parasite growth rates. A corrected form of the model is presented in this paper.Keywords
