(A) Body weight gain in healthy and infected rats calculated from weight values at D0 before infection: mean value±SEM (* p<0.05 compared to healthy rats, n = 6 per day and per group). (B) Time course of parasitaemia, n = 6 per day). (C) Immunofluorescent staining of T. b. brucei (red) in the brain parenchyma at D16 post infection (n = 3). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue).
