Fig. 1From: Evaluation of the in vitro and in vivo inhibitory effect of thymoquinone on piroplasm parasitesInhibitory effect of diminazene aceturate, thymoquinone, and a combination therapy of both drugs on the growth of Babesia microti. a Oral administration of TQ. b Intraperitoneal administration of TQ. Each value represents the mean ± standard deviation of five mice per experimental group after subtracting the background fluorescence for non-parasitized RBCs from uninfected mice. Asterisks indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) between treated and control mice. Gain values are set to 100.
