Fig. 2.
a Kaplan–Meier overall survival curve for the studied groups. b Liver impression smears from tested groups. c Rectal body temperature of the mice following during the experiment period. II: Control negative (non-infected non-vaccinated group). (Ia) control positive (Infected non-vaccinated group). Ib: Control group that received adjuvant complete and incomplete. Ic: Mice vaccinated with prepared live attenuated vaccine. Id: Mice vaccinated with the dead-prepared vaccine.
Free tachyzoites

Incorrect equation:
Reductionrate (%) = Tachyzoite count of control infected group/ml − Tachyzoite count of control infected group/ml) /tachyzoite countofcontrol infected/ml) × 100.
Correct equation:
Reduction rate (%) = [(Tachyzoite count of control infected group/ml−Tachyzoite count of treated group/ml)/Tachyzoite count of control infected group/ml]×100
In Funding section, the project number relating to National Research Centre given for Eman E. El Shanawany was incorrectly given as 1310125 and should have been 13010125.
