Assays

Determinations of parasite volumes in a well-synchronised, infected culture treated with a cytosolic stain, using fluorescence microscopy. Diameters used to calculate parasite volume, assuming a spherical parasite cell.

Here we will use JERM templates with embedded ontologies to describe and annotate example data
