Fig. 1From: Checks and balances? DNA replication and the cell cycle in PlasmodiumSchematic showing the life-cycle of P. falciparum. Each replicative stage of the life-cycle, together with the approximate fold-replication, is highlighted in purple. Approximate parasite numbers within each host at each stage are also shown to highlight the severe bottlenecks and massive expansions that occur throughout the life-cycleBack to article page
