E. bovis macromeront formation and merozoite I production after LDL supplementation. E. bovis-infected BUVEC (n = 5) were grown in non-enriched (=controls) or LDL-enriched medium. The effects of LDL supplementation on macromeront formation (A) were assessed microscopically by estimating the rate of macromeront-carrying host cells (black bars: LDL-enriched medium, white bars: controls) and by measuring the size of developing macromeronts (black circles: LDL-enriched medium; white circles: controls). The effects of LDL supplementation on total merozoite I production (B) were quantified via a EbMIC4-based qPCR at 30 days pi.
