Plasmodium/Borrelia coinfection leads to severe anemia. Hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in BALB/c mice are shown. Dashed lines represent 55% of the Hb concentration determined in uninfected mice based on the definition of severe anemia in BALB/c mice (15). (A) Mice infected with P. berghei (P.b) (n = 6; values are means ± SD). (B) Mice infected with B. duttonii (B.d) (n = 6; values are means ± SD). (C) Mice infected with both pathogens (P.b/B.d) (n = 6; values are means ± SD). There was no significant difference in hemoglobin concentration between coinfected and P. berghei-infected mice (P = 0.897).
