Microparticle concentration (%) | Rationale |
---|---|
0 | Absence of microparticles (~Newtonian fluid) |
2 | Microparticle density similar to RBC density in routine ookinete culture |
35 | Microparticle density similar to RBC density in healthy host blood |
60 | Microparticle density similar to RBC density in a blood meal after diuresis |
