Cytostatic versus cytocidal profiling of quinoline drug combinations via modified fixed-ratio isobologram analysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Most of the current biophysical models designed to address the large-scale distribution of malaria assume that transmission of the disease is independent of the vector involved. Another common assumption in these type of model is that the mortality rate of mosquitoes is constant over their life span and that...
