Parasite swimming characteristics for different body stiffnesses.
(A) Swimming velocity v and rotation frequency 
and (B) flagellum wave amplitude B0 and wavelength 
as a function of the body stiffness 
. (C) Simulation snapshot of a bent trypanosome with a relatively soft body. (D) Experimental visualization of a banana-like trypanosome shape. See also S5V and S6V.
