Figure 2. Replication of asexual blood stage parasites is unaffected in Plrx(-) mutant parasites.

Figure 2

(A) In vivo growth curves of WT and Plrx(-) parasites. Five and six naïve animals were injected intravenously with 1,000 WT and Plrx(-) parasites, respectively. Parasitemia was determined every 12 hours after infection by microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained blood smears. (B) In vivo growth curves of WT and Plrx(-) parasites under constant exposure of methylene blue (50 mg/kg body weight). Treatment started immediately after infection with 1,000 WT and Plrx(-) parasites, respectively.
