NS = no significant correlation. ‘r’ values are presented for significant correlations (p < 0.05) between survival and the parameters: AUC = area under the curve (parasites/mL); Ptotal – total parasitemia (parasites/ mL); Pmax = maximum peak of parasites (parasites/ mL); Day of Pmax- Day of maximum peak of parasites; PPP = Prepatent period; PP = patent period; Ta = Temperature; Weight and Water. Groups: CI: control group – infected animals treated with 7% ethanol-water solution diluted in water (10μL/mL) offered ad libitum; BIOTPI: infected animals treated with biotherapic BIOTTc17dH diluted in water (10μL/mL) offered ad libitum from the day of the infection until the death of the animals; BIOT4PI: infected animals treated with biotherapic BIOTTc17dH diluted in water (10μL/mL) offered ad libitum from the 4th day of the infection until the death of the animals.
