Merozoite invasion kinetics are generally similar for different P. falciparum strains. (A) Cartoon of merozoite ligands, their erythrocyte receptors, and methods used to ablate these interactions. (B-G) Box and whisker plots; line indicates median, box indicates 75–25% range, and ‘whiskers’ denote total data range. Significant differences (p<0.05) are shown on the graphs, differences approaching significance (0.05>p<0.1), and insignificant p values are noted in figure legends. Weiss GE, Gilson PR, Taechalertpaisarn T, Tham WH, de Jong NW, Harvey KL, Fowkes FJ, Barlow PN, Rayner JC, Wright GJ, Cowman AF, Crabb BS. Revealing the sequence and resulting cellular morphology of receptor-ligand interactions during invasion of erythrocytes. PLoS Pathog. 2015. PMID: 25723550
