Values are means ± standard deviation.

Different uppercase letters in the same column within the variable are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05).

Different lower-case letters in the same row are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05).

#Value of just one mouse.

WBC: white blood cells. d0: the beginning of the study. d180: end of the trial. NI_S_AP: uninfected and treated with saline between d1 and d30. NI_Epo_AP: uninfected and treated with erythropoietin (Epo) between d1 and d30. I_S_AP: infected with T. cruzi and treated with saline in the acute phase (d1 to d30). I_Epo_AP: infected and treated with Epo in the acute phase. NI_S_CP: uninfected and treated with saline between d90 and d120. NI_Epo_CP: uninfected and treated with Epo between d90 and d120. I_S_CP: infected with T. cruzi and treated with saline in the chronic phase (d90 to d120). I_Epo_CP: infected and treated with Epo in the chronic phase.
