Figure 5. Sex ratios of focal genotypes during the growth phase of infections.
Mean sex ratios throughout the growth phase of infections for P. chabaudi focal genotypes when alone (dashed line) and co-infecting with a second genotype (solid line). a, AS; b, AJ; c, ER. Sex ratios of genotypes AS and ER could be distinguished from sex ratios of AJ but AS and ER could not be distinguished from each other (see Supplementary Information). Sex ratios produced by AJ when co-infecting with AS or ER were not significantly different so these infections are grouped. We followed 5 independent infections for each genotype combination.
