Plasmodium falciparum (PfPedigree)

The pedigree functions are necessary to track how pathogens move between hosts and mosquito vectors. Pedigree tracking must occur when a new human infection occurs; that is, when sporozites successfully invade the host bloodstream. In programmatic terms, this means that the function addPf2Pedigree() will be called during the evaluation of infectiousBite_XX().

PfPedigree Generics

To initialize the pedigree tracking routines please note that, following convention we will refer to the specific instantiation of PfPedigree as PfPedigree_XX, where XX will be that specific instantiation. However there are certain generic steps that must be undertaken, even if one is using the NULL instantiation.
