Parasite swimming properties for different sperm numbers.

(A) Swimming velocity v and (B) parasite rotation frequency as a function of sperm number Sp obtained from simulations. Three different parameters are varied, including fluid viscosity , beating frequency f, and bending rigidity K of the flagellum (see S3V and S4V).
