Modeling the genetic relatedness of Plasmodium falciparum parasites following meiotic recombination and cotransmission
Fig 4
Relatedness of cotransmitted strains when oocyst count is 1.
Violin plots of the relatedness of cotransmitted strains in single oocyst simulations. Only the results for simulations with infected hepatocyte count of 2 (A) or 5 (B) are shown. The expected relatedness (in terms of both median and mean) is always 0.33. A box plot is drawn in the center of each violin plot, where the white dot represents the median of the distribution, the thicker line represent the interquartile range, and the thinner line represents the whiskers of the box plot, up to 1.5 times the interquartile range. The horizontal dotted line represents the value of 0.33.
