| Parasitemia peak (mean ± SD number parx104/mL) | % Parasitemia suppression | % Animal survival | Natural relapse after the therapy | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bz 60 days | 0 ± 0 | 100 | 100 | 5 out of 5 mice |
| VNI 60 days | 0.2 ± 0.4 | 99.9 | 100 | 3 out of 5 mice |
| VFV 60 days | 0.2 ± 0.4 | 99.9 | 100 | 5 out of 5 mice |
| Bz+VFV (simultaneous)** | 1.4 ± 3.1 | 99.9 | 100 | 3 out of 5 mice |
Simultaneous therapy: 60 days of Bz + VFV (once a day)
