Estimation of infection and recovery rates for highly polymorphic parasites when detectability is imperfect, using hidden Markov models (Publications)
A Bayesian hierarchical model is proposed for estimating parasitic infection dynamics for highly polymorphic parasites when detectability of the parasite using standard tests is imperfect. The parasit
