Roman numerals refer to stages: II, early gametocytes; V, mature gametocytes. All, all asexual-parasite stages; R, ring-stage asexual parasites; ET, early trophozoites; LT, late trophozoites; Sc, schizonts; low, low expression levels. The expression data are from Lopez-Barragan et al. (14) as published in PlasmoDB (142).
