Refractive index and morphological profile of P. knowlesi-infected RBCs. a Refractive index, b sphericity, c cellular volume, and d surface area of P. knowlesi-infected RBCs. Each data point represents 15 samples of uninfected RBCs and P. knowlesi- and P. falciparum-infected RBCs. The asterisks indicate the statistical significance (P < 0.05) of the ring, trophozoite, and schizont compared to uninfected RBCs. The bar indicates a mean value and standard deviation. u.RBCs = uninfected RBCs
