TABLE 2.
Effects of riboflavin on trophozoite development
| Riboflavin concn (μM) | % Parasitemia with:
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Rings | Trophozoites | |
| 0 | 13.4 | 0.0 |
| 50 | 2.0 | 0.0 |
| 100 | 1.9 | 0.3 |
| 150 | 2.3 | 0.5 |
| 200 | 2.2 | 0.2 |
| 300 | 0.7 | 0.2 |
Trophozoite-stage parasites were cultured with the indicated concentrations of riboflavin for 24 h. Parasitemia was determined by counting the number of parasites in 1,000 erythrocytes on Giemsa-stained blood smears.
