Relative transcript level of invasion-related genes in children with severe and uncomplicated malaria. Transcript levels are shown for individual isolates and median values with the 95% confidence interval for each group; significant differences are specified (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, p < 0.05). IRG relative transcript levels of each P. falciparum isolate is represented with black triangles for parasites from severe malaria patients and with grey circles for parasites from uncomplicated malaria patients.
