FIG 5.

Impact of S. mansoni and P. knowlesi coinfection on Hb levels. Shown are the hemoglobin values in grams per deciliter for each animal, taken before S. mansoni infection (BSI), at week 20 after S. mansoni infection and before malaria infection (BMI) for the Schisto-only, Schisto+Pk, and Schisto/PZQ+Pk groups, at and time zero (naive) for the P. knowlesi-only group. The hemoglobin levels after P. knowlesi infection (AMI) were determined at endpoint (7 to 23 days after P. knowlesi infection) for the Schisto+Pk, Schisto/PZQ+Pk, and P. knowlesi-only (Pk only) groups. For the Schisto-only group, the final Hb levels were taken at week 23 after S. mansoni infection.
