Adhesive force Fad of the parasite to a rigid RBC for different interaction strengths ϵa, small (red dashed lines) and large (blue solid lines) parasites, and two exponents: a = 0 (circles) and a = 1 (stars). Fad for a rigid RBC grows more slowly with increasing ϵa than that for a deformable RBC in Fig. 5C and has a nearly linear dependence on the interaction strength; as for the rigid cell, the adhesion area is independent of ϵa.
