Percentage of B. divergens parasites at the stages of trophozoite, onset of division and end of cellular division following an invasion assay.

	Trophozoite (%)	Onset of division (%)	End of division (%)
3 h	100	0	0
4 h	98.7	1.3	0
5 h	96.6	1.5	1.9
6 h	88.8	6.0	5.2
8 h	75.7	2.6	21.7
9 h	65.6	1.9	32.5

Parasites at each stages were counted from 3 to 9 h after the contact between free parasites and red blood cells.
