Proliferation in vivo and development in vitro profiles of cloned LplA1-cKO parasites in the presence or absence of ATc. a Parasitemia levels in mice infected with cloned LplA1-cKO parasites and provided with normal or ATc-containing water. Results shown are from one of two experiments. Data are mean (± SD) of 3–5 mice per group. The insert shows the parasitemia during the first 8 days of infection. **P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test) compared to parasites of the same clone exposed to ATc. b In vitro development of LplA1-cKO parasites collected in the early (D6) and late (D14) stage of infection. Photomicrographs of clone 21 (C-21) parasites are shown. Scale-bar: 10 μm
