Therefore, parasites are subject to a drug‐induced mortality rate for each day that the drugs are administered, plus an additional L days afterwards. To explore the consequences of different strengths of drug treatment on optimal patterns of conversion rates, we simulate several treatment regimes: drug doses of 0–15 mg/kg, each administered for two consecutive days (days 11 and 12 postinfection). Determining the survival of infected RBCs (S) requires integrating these mortality rates over the delay α. For the case of drug‐treated infections, that survival term is given by(10)S=exp(−μt),t<αexp−∫t−α11μdω+∫11tμ+μddω,11≤t<α+11,exp−∫t−αtμ+μddω,α+11≤t<L+12,exp−∫t−α12μ+μddω+∫12tμdω,L+12≤t<L+12+α,exp(−μα),otherwise.
