Components ( and ) of the three-dimensional complex modulus for healthy RBCs and Pf-RBCs at different stages of parasite development.

<p>These measurements were obtained in simulations by monitoring membrane thermal fluctuations at . The shear moduli of Pf-RBCs for different stages are given in <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002270#pcbi-1002270-t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>. The bending stiffness and the membrane viscosity in all cases are set to and , respectively.
