Figure 3.
Lung fungal burden (LFB) on day 14 after infection of C57BL/6 and interferon γ receptor 1 (Ifn-γr1) knockout (KO) mice after intranasal infection with 32 or 34 arthroconidia of Cp1038 or Silveira, respectively (n = 8 per group). LFBs are approximately 1000-fold lower with Cp1038 in both wild-type and the immunodeficient mice (P < .001 for both comparisons). Differences in LFB were significant between the 2 mouse strains for Silveira (P = .02) but not for Cp1038 (P > .99) infection (Kruskal-Wallis).
