Fig. 5From: The MEP pathway in Babesia orientalis apicoplast, a potential target for anti-babesiosis drug developmentFosmidomycin and geranylgeraniol treated parasites arrest during in vitro cultivation of B. orientalis. The parasites were treated separately with fosmidomycin (FSM), fosmidomycin plus geranylgeraniol (GG-ol), diminazene aceturate (DA), diminazene aceturate plus geranylgeraniol, and ethanol (control). Negative control without any treatment was also included. The parasitemias were determined by Giemsa staining every 24 h. PPE, percent parasitized erythrocytesBack to article page
