Figure 1

Exemplary images of infected erythrocytes at different stages of infection. Three examples of each of the different intraerythrocytic developmental stages of Plasmodium falciparum reflecting the classification used in the present study. An early trophozoite (ET) was distinguished from a ring stage (R) when the cytoplasm of the parasite had begun to expand but no haemozoin crystals were visible. A late trophozoite (LT) contained haemozoin and not more than one nucleus. A schizont (S) contained up to 8 nuclei. Parasites with >8 nuclei were classified as segmenters (SEG). Examples of gametocytes (G) are also shown. Images were obtained on a Nikon Eclipse TE2000 -N Microscope with a 1000× optical magnification with a Nikon LH-M100CB-1 Camera.
