Higher parasitaemia and less reticulocytes during early infection distinguish the lethal cynomolgi malaria infection. Parasitaemia (a, b), haemoglobin (c), reticulocyte (d), and platelet (e) kinetics are shown comparing the three different cynomolgi infection clinical phenotypes. The average of the two non-severe and two severe animals were used for each point on the graph; since the lethal phenotype is unique, a single animal’s values were used
