Means with different superscripts across the same row differed significantly.

^**Significant difference exists at p≤0.01. Group I (Trypanosoma brucei brucei); Group II (Trypanosoma evansi); Group III (Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma evansi mixed); Group IV (control). SEM = Standard error of mean, p.i.=Post infection
