TABLE 3.
SLTRiP-KO parasites are defective in growth during liver stage as compared with Pb-ANKA parasite
Table shows the average values for the area and diameter of SLTRiP-KO and WT parasites, measured in the livers of C57BL/6 mice after 48 h of infection with the respective parasites. On the basis of size, the SLTRiP-KO and WT parasite populations were divided into three size groups as depicted. For each group, the standard deviation in the area and diameter is given in parentheses. The diameter range for PBANKA and SLTRiP KO parasites in the liver of C57BL/6 mice is 15–65 and 13–27 μm, respectively. The area range for PBANKA and SLTRiP KO parasites in the liver of C57BL/6 mice is 272–3406 and 133–606 μm2, respectively. S.D. represents the standard deviation in respective average value for the diameter and area, and it is given in parentheses.
