Description
Effect on drug resistance by level of treatment in mice.
Format
A dataset with 72 observations on the following 5 variables.
Treatment Untreated, Light, Moderate, or Aggressive
Weight Mouse weight in grams
RBC Red blood cell density
ResistantDensity Density of resistant parasites
DaysInfectious Days infectious with resistant parasites
Details
In an experiment to study drug resistance in mice, groups of 18 mice were injected with a mixture of drug-resistant and drug-susceptible malaria parasites.
One group received no treatment while the others got limited, moderate, or aggressive amounts of anti-malarial treatment. The weight and red blood cell density reflect the initial health
of the mice. Density of resistant parasites and number of days infectious measure the effectiveness of the treatment.
