(A-C) Tracks generated through automated tracking were plotted to a common origin to visualize parasite dispersal P. berghei (A), P. yoelii (B) and P. falciparum (C) at 5, 10, 30 and 60 min after intradermal inoculation. For each timepoint, the tracks are representative of the average displacement of the entire sporozoite population. Track numbers used for each timepoint were: 5 min, 40 tracks; 10 min, 32 tracks; 30 min, 25 tracks; 60 min, 21 tracks. (D-F) Displacement of P. berghei (D), P. yoelii (E) and P. falciparum (F) sporozoites 5-120 min after inoculation in box and whisker plots with whiskers displaying the 10-90 percentiles and values below and above the whiskers shown individually. Horizontal lines show median displacement at each time point. Percentage values in boxes indicate the fraction of tracks displacing over 75 micrometers at each time point. Within a given species, the difference in sporozoite displacement between 5 min and 120 min is statistically significant (Kruskal-Wallis test: P. berghei p<0.0001, P. yoelii p<0.0001, P. falciparum p<0.01). Comparisons between species showed no statistically significant difference in displacements for any given time point, with the exception of the 10 min time point in which there was a significant difference between P. berghei and P. falciparum (Kruskal-Wallis test, *p<0.05). For panels (D-F), a varying number of videos were processed for each time point after inoculation: (D) Same dataset as used for Figure 2D: 5 min (3 videos/203 tracks), 10 min (6 videos/292 tracks), 20 min (4 videos/184 tracks), 30 min (6 videos/235 tracks), 60 min (7 videos/162 tracks) and 120 min (6 videos/151 tracks). (E) 5 min (7 videos/714 tracks), 10 min (16 videos/1514 tracks), 20 min (4 videos/415 tracks), 30 min (4 videos/319 tracks), 60 min (4 videos/255 tracks), and 120 min (4 videos/180 tracks). (F) 5 min (6 videos/389 tracks), 10 min (6 videos/464 tracks), 20 min (3 videos/184 tracks), 30 min (2 videos/195 tracks), 60 min (2 videos/239 tracks), and 120 min (2 videos/103 tracks).
