Size of parasites and red blood cells.
| Uninf RBC | Micro RBC | Macro RBC | Micro | Macro | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Length (µm) | 14.83 ± 0.50 | 14.54 ± 0.65 | 14.55 ± 0.62 | 7.85 ± 0.70 | 7.08 ± 0.61 |
| Width (µm) | 8.39 ± 0.52 | 8.47 ± 0.47 | 8.39 ± 0.55 | 3.98 ± 0.50 | 3.60 ± 0.46 |
Microgametocytes (micro), macrogametocytes (macro), uninfected red blood cells (uninf RBC), red blood cells harboring microgametocytes (micro RBC), macrogametocytes (macro RBC). Results are expressed as mean length and width ± SEM, n = 30. The sizes of the microgametocytes and the macrogametocytes were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney test; mature microgametocytes are significantly larger than macrogametocytes (length, p value < 0.0001; width, p value < 0.001).The sizes of RBC were tested by a one-way analysis of variance and showed no significant difference (length, p value = 0.11; width, p value = 0.79).
