a

Percentage of parasites whose trajectories have a total displacement of >2 µm.

b

Percentage of parasites with a sufficient number of trackpoints (≥12) to apply a modified Fourier fit.

c

Calculated for fittable trajectories from moving parasites only.

d

Values expressed are mean ± SD except for trajectory lengths, which are expressed as median ± SD due to their non-Gaussian distribution.
