Parasite load after challenge infection. The number of parasites in the spleen was measured by Real-Time PCR technique and showed by number of parasites per 20 ng of DNA total. DNA was extracted from the spleen samples of mice immunized with vaccines containing Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS = black circles - control group), Leishmania infantum antigen (LiAg = black squares) or Peptide 5 (Pep 5 = black triangles). Mean ± standard deviation (SD) in each group is shown. Statistically significant differences in the parasite load between experimental groups are showed in the graph.
