The difference in RBC environments between control (grey) and PHZ-treated (blue) hosts on the day before infection. For a total RBC density and b the proportions of RBC that are reticulocytes (box plot featured here and throughout present the median, interquartile range, and outliers). The difference in RBC environments between control and PHZ-treated hosts during infections for c RBC density (mean ± SEM) and d proportion of reticulocytes for each genotype (AJ: solid line + round point, AS: dashed line + triangle point, CR: dotted line + square point, ER: dot-dash line + cross point, mean ± SEM)
