Figure 1. Malaria infection P. chabaudi-infected mice 6 d.a.i ameliorates clinical signs of autoimmunity.

(A) Experimental design of EAE induction and P. chabaudi infection. (B) Parasitemia levels, (C) corporal temperature, (D) EAE clinical score and (E) weight loss in groups of mice infected with P. chabaudi alone (P. chabaudi - black squares), P. chabaudi infected 6 days after EAE induction (P. chabaudi + EAE - white circles), and in mice harboring EAE alone (EAE - black circles). The results are expressed as the mean of each group of mice (n = 5–8) ± SD. (F) Correlation between parasitemia level and EAE clinical score in the pool of mice harboring a malaria infection 6 days after EAE induction.
