Does infection with Chlamydia trachomatis induce long-lasting partial immunity? Insights from mathematical modelling

OBJECTIVES: To explore whether existence of long-lasting partial immunity against reinfection with Chlamydia trachomatis is necessary to explain C. trachomatis prevalence patterns by age and sexual risk, and to provide a plausible estimate for the effect size, defined here as a reduction in suscepti...
