Figure 3

(A) Frequency of BFU-E progenitors in the bone marrow of control hamsters and hamsters infected with L. donovani for 8 weeks was determined by the semi-solid colony assay. Data represent mean +/− SEM from hamsters. *p<0.05, Student’s t test. (B) and (C) Frequency of CFU-E progenitors in bone marrow and spleen from control and infected hamsters. Data represent mean +/− SEM from 3–5 hamsters. *p<0.05; *p<0.01, student’s t test.
