Figure 3.

The within-host environment and parasite traits do not differ between common garden hosts (ExPHZ, green and ExControl, purple). We observed no significant differences in RBC densities (RBC dens, A), the proportion of RBCs that are reticulocytes (Prop retics, B), asexual replication rates (C), asexual parasite densities (Asex dens, D) or burst sizes, measured as the number of merozoites per schizont, on day 4 PI (E) between ExPHZ and ExControl hosts. Gametocyte densities are higher in ExPHZ compared to ExControl hosts on day 1 PI only because these gametocytes originate from infections in the initial hosts (Gct dens, F) and conversion rates were not significantly different between common garden hosts (G). Graphs show mean ± SEM (A–D, F–G) or median (black dashed) and 25–75 percentiles, with whiskers 1.5 times the interquartile range and dots representing outliers (E)
