Images (A–C) represent the evolution of the paw lesion after the infection by L. (V.) braziliensis (MHOM/BR/2000/1655 strain): (A) initial edema, (B) initial lesion, (C) ulcerated lesion. (D) Represents the evaluation of the clinical course of lesions through the 120 days following the infections. The size of the lesions was measured with a digital pachymeter by evaluating the dorsal-ventral thickness of the infected paw (mm). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.001 when compared the infected groups to the respective control. (E) Demonstrates the body weight (g) of the hamsters before parasite inoculation and at 90- and 120-days post infection (n = 4). CG, control group. 2903: group infected with MHOM/BR/1975/M2903. 2314: group infected with MHOM/BR/2003/2314. 1655: group infected with MHOM/BR/2000/1655.
