Copy number of Plasmodium yoelii 18s RNA gene per 1×106 mouse G3PDH gene measured at 42 h post sporozoite inoculation. Female IFN-γ-/- mice (N = 8), IL-4-/- mice (N = 8), and B6 WT mice (N = 4) were intraportally inoculated with 3,000 frozen S. mansoni-eggs and challenged with 1,500 SPZ of P. yoelii along with each control groups inoculated 100 μL PBS (N = 4). B6 WT mice: *P<0.05, t = 3.017, df = 5; IFN-γ-/- mice: Not significant (NS), t = -1.303, df = 10; IL-4-/- mice: NS, t = -0.016, df = 10.
