RBC turnover indicates predilection of P. berghei NK65-NY parasites for reticulocytes in C57BL/6 mice. C57BL/6 mice were infected with P. berghei NK65-NY (PbNK65-NY). RBCs were in vivo biotin-labeled 7 days PI and the percentage of biotinylated (BioRBCs) versus non-biotinylated cells was quantified by flow cytometry (control: n = 7 per group, infected: n = 8 per group). a Number of RBCs per µl of blood. The non-biotinylated RBCs were subdivided into reticulocytes and normocytes, according to microscopy countings of the Giemsa-stained blood smears. b Representative FACS plots of RBCs of control mice (upper row) and infected mice (lower row), showing the percentage of BioRBCs and the forward scatter (FSC)
