Giemsa-stained 1 month old-parasites and dynamic of parasitaemia of parasite cultured with MMM medium. a Giemsa stained-ring (upper panel) and ruptured schizont stage (lower panel) of the same parasite isolate cultured in MMM medium at 1 month. The present of ring stage parasites indicate the successful development and reinvasion of the parasites. b The fluctuation of parasitaemia of the parasites cultured in MMM medium. Parasite density was dramatically dropped during the first week of cultured and then maintained at very low density for the whole culture period.
