XN-30 analyzer data of blood samples from healthy humans and non-infected mice. a M scattergrams obtained from non-diluted human blood samples (i) and tenfold diluted mouse blood sample (ii). The ‘1’, ‘2’, and ‘3’ indicate white blood cells (WBCs), polychromatic red blood cells (RBCs), and Howell–Jolly body-containing RBCs (HJB-RBCs), respectively. Blue, polychromatic RBCs; light blue, WBCs; red, ring-forms; orange, trophozoites; purple, schizont were assigned based on default setting of the XN-30 analyzer; however, these were misclassified for mouse blood sample. b Dot-plot of RBC (i), WBC (ii), and PLT (iii) counts, and HCT (iv), MCV (v), and MPV (vi) values in blood samples from female mice. Horizontal bars represent means. RBC, WBC, and PLT counts, as well as HCT value were calculated according to the indicated dilution ratio. Data of the blood samples from male mice are shown in Additional file 1: Figure S1
