P. berghei NK65-E shifts from reticulocytes to normocytes and P. berghei ANKA and P. berghei NK65-NY from normocytes to reticulocytes. C57BL/6 mice were infected with P. berghei NK65-E (PbNK65-E) or P. berghei NK65-NY (PbNK65-NY), and DBA/2 mice were infected with P. berghei ANKA (PbA). a Number of RBCs and b reticulocytes per µl blood, c percentages of infected reticulocytes and d percentages of parasites in reticulocytes and normocytes were determined at the indicated time points (control: n = 4 per group, infected: n = 8–12 per group). e Pictures from the Giemsa-stained smears are shown to illustrate the preference of the parasites for normocytes or reticulocytes. Arrows indicate infected RBCs and the black line represents 20 µm. Asterisks indicate significant differences between groups
