The M scattergrams of P. falciparum non-ring stages detected by the LM mode of the XN-31p. The flagging messages obtained by measurement with the XN-31p are indicated under each M scattergram. a The M scattergram of the sample from case No. 28 on the second day of illness. P. falciparum-infected cells were detected at 0.19% parasitaemia, and the appearance of gametocytes was confirmed by microscopic observation. The gametocytes in the M scattergram are also shown as a green-coloured cluster (indicated by the green arrow). A photo of a gametocyte found in the Giemsa-stained thin blood smear is shown inside the column. b The M scattergram of the sample from case No. 58 on the second day of illness. The parasitaemia was 0.047%, and the appearance of schizonts was detected by microscopy. The schizonts in the M scattergram are shown as a purple-coloured cluster (indicated by the purple arrow). A photo of a schizont found in the Giemsa-stained thin blood smear is shown inside the column
