A mathematical model was used to estimate malaria transmission rates based on serological data. The model is minimally stochastic and assumes an age-dependent force of infection for malaria. The transmission rates estimated were applied to a simple compartmental model in order to mimic the malaria transmission.The model has shown a good retrieving capacity for serological and parasite prevalence data.HCFMUSP,SAO PAULO,BRAZILESCOLA PAULISTA MED,BR-04023 SAO PAULO,BRAZILUNIV SAO PAULO,INST PHYS,BR-01498 SAO PAULO,BRAZILESCOLA PAULISTA MED,BR-04023 SAO PAULO,BRAZILWeb of Scienc
