Parasitaemia of Plasmodium falciparum parasites in culture. Box plots showing the median parasitaemia (%) recorded for every 24 h from day 0 to day 5 of in vitro culture of seven patient parasite isolates either with prior cellulose filtration (+) or no filtration (−). The box plots display median, 1st quartile (Q1), and 3rd quartile (Q3), and the lower whisker indicates the lowest data point above Q1 minus 1.5 times IQR; the upper whisker indicates the highest data point below 1.5 IQR plus Q3. Cellulose filtration was a positive predictor for parasitaemia calculated using generalized least squares (GLS) random-effects regression model (P < 0.001). The growth profile is highlighted with a line through the medians
