This repository contains a mathematical model of red blood cell (RBC) dynamics in a malaria infection.
This model includes the spleen as a separate model compartment that can retain large amounts of infected and uninfected RBCs.
This model is described in [The role of the spleen in red blood cell loss caused by malaria: a mathematical model](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1013865), **PLOS Comp Biol** 22(1), 2026.
