  1. Group A represents three experiments that used manual determination of parasitaemia and total cell numbers with an estimated 0.3 parasites/well in limiting dilution microplates. Group B consists of three experiments using limiting dilution setup using flow cytometry with EtBr-DNA staining and 0.3 parasites/well. Group C consists of three trials of limiting dilution using flow cytometry, the SYBR Green I reagent, and 0.2 parasites/well. The column “Detected Modified/integrated Loci” shows the number of detected modified loci in each plate
