Sequential analysis of 3D7 strain after ring-form synchronization. a Typical M scattergrams. b Line graph of MI-RBC%. “$” indicates the time-point taken for comparison of parasitaemia in (c). Abbreviations are: RNG, ring-form; TRPZ, trophozoite; and SCHZ, schizont. c Bar graph of MI-RBC% and parasitaemia (%). “X” and “M” indicate the XN-30 analyzer and microscopy, respectively. Red, ring-forms; orange, trophozoites; and purple, schizonts. Results in b and c are expressed as mean ± SD from three independent dishes. All data from the XN-30 analyzer are provided in Additional file 2: Table S6
