Fig 8. The association of Ascaris suum infection during pulmonary fibrosis did not impact in mice mortality and parasite burden in lungs.

(A) Survival curve of mice, only infected with Ascaris suum (As group), only bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis (BL group), bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis and infected with Ascaris suum (BL+As group); (B) Total number of larvae recovered of the lungs, airways and total recovered by the bronchoalveolar lavage. Results represent mean ± S.E.M., *P< 0.05, **P< 0.01, ***P< 0.001. For the comparison between the parasitic burden and the number of larval fragments found in Berman from mice lungs, we use the test t test.
