M scattergrams illustrating the principle of detection of red blood cells infected with malaria parasites. SFL: side fluorescence light; FSC: forward scattered light. Samples were analysed in WB mode. a Malaria-negative blood sample. Blue dots: non-infected RBCs, platelets and debris; red dots: background noise below the limit of quantitation. b RBCs infected with P. falciparum (MI-RBCs) showing R1: RBCs infected with 1 ring form, and R2: RBCs infected with 2 ring forms. c RBCs infected with P. vivax showing different parasite developmental stages. T: trophozoites; G: gametocytes; S: schizonts; W: white blood cells
