Fig 6. Malaria outcomes with low dose SPZ challenge.

Female BALB/c mice (N = 16) infected with 50 Schistosoma mansoni-cercariae 10 weeks previously were challenged with 50 sporozoites of Plasmodium yoelii along with S. mansoni-non-infected controls. (A) The percentage of mice that did not develop blood stage infection following inoculation of low does SPZ. Data were statistically examined using the log-rank test. ***P<0.001, x2 = 29.8, df = 1. (B) Parasitaemia. Mean parasitaemia in S. mansoni infected group was calculated only among blood stage malaria positive mice.
