Erythrocyte invasion history of parasite cultures used for primary analyses. Efficiency of invasion into neuraminidase treated erythrocytes by all biological replicates of static cultured baseline parasites (week 0) and their respective suspended cultures were monitored at regular intervals by invasion assays. Baseline cultures were confirmed to be SA-dependent, while suspended parasites gradually acquired SA-independent invasion phenotype with increasing length of time in culture. Schizonts were harvested at baseline, and weeks 8 and 6, respectively for suspended W2mef (a) and Dd2 (b). Broken lines indicate suspended replicates which were not sequenced.
