The growth inhibitory effect of naphthoquine phosphate (NQP) on B. rodhaini in BALB/c mice. a NQP and tafenoquine (TAF) prevent the typical growth of B. rodhaini in mice as compared with that in DMSO-treated mice as a drug solvent control. b Changes of hematocrit (HCT) values in mice treated with NQP or TAF as compared with that in DMSO-treated mice. The asterisks indicate a significant difference (P < 0.05) between the NQP- or TAF-treated group and the DMSO-treated group. c Survival rates of NQP-, TAF-, and DMSO-treated mice. The arrows indicate time of treatment. Parasitemia was calculated by counting infected RBCs among 3000 RBCs using Giemsa-stained blood smears. Dotted line indicates the reference range
