Effects of allicin treatment on parasitaemia and survival of P. yoelii 17XL infected mice. Mice were treated with two doses of allicin (3 and 9 mg/kg) and PBS (control group) for successive three days after P. yoelii 17 XL infection. Parasitaemia was calculated by counting the number of parasite-infected erythrocytes per 1,000 erythrocytes. Mortality was monitored daily. Results are presented as arithmetic mean of three mice per group ± the standard error of the mean (SEM). ##, significant difference (P < 0.001) compared to the control group.
