Figure 5

Quantitative distribution of L. infantum in BALB/c mice 2 and 6 weeks after infection. The parasite burden was quantified on the (A) spleen, (B) liver, (C) bone marrow, (D) lymph node and (E) blood. Data represent means ± SD of 3–5 animals per group of a representative experiment of two independent assays. T test was used to determine statistically significant differences between 2 and 6 weeks of infection with each strain; * p < 0.05. With one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test we calculated statistically significant differences between strains at each time point; # p < 0.05. Dashed line indicate limit of detection for quantification for each tissue.
