Dielectric properties of iRBC and hRBC [62]

Cell type Position Electrical conductivity (S/m) Relative dielectric permittivity
Host Parasite Host Parasite
iRBC Membrane 7 ± 2 × 10−5 <10−6 9.03 ± 0.82 8 ± 4
Interior (0.95 ± 0.05)σm 1.0 ± 0.4 58 ± 10 70 ± 5
hRBC Membrane <10−6 4.44 ± 0.45
Interior 0.31 ± 0.03 59 ± 6

Remark: σm is the electrical conductivity of the suspension medium
