Figure 2. B. recurrentis spirochetemia in SCID BEIGE and SCID mice.

Figure 2

B. recurrentis established a relatively low-grade (compared to B. duttonii, see Figure 1C, D), stable infection in SCID BEIGE and SCID mice, but not in BALB/c or NUDE animals. Strain A17 (panel A) caused a higher (p<0.01) level of spirochetemia than did strain A11 (panel B). No difference in B. recurrentis spirochetemia was observed between SCID BEIGE and SCID mice. Data are presented as medians with 25th and 75th percentiles.
