Distribution of intraerythrocytic parasite stages in ICR mice. Parasitic stages observed in blood samples from infected ICR mice. The fraction of ring- (white), trophozoite (dashed) and schizont-stage (black) iRBC from day 3 to 8 after infection is shown for non-surviving, non-treated surviving and MA-treated surviving mice. The data were obtained by microscopic inspection of Wright´s-stained thin blood smears and compared with controls without drug. Results are presented as mean+SD of five mice, each one accounting the percent of cells showing every parasite stage from a total of 1000 erythrocytes.
