Table 7: Parasitemia of T. congolense isolates during the experimental infection in mice.
Treatment | Number of mice tested | Number of animal resistant | Average parasitemia (Parasites/ml blood) |
Normal serum | 6 | 5 | 33 ± 11.55ns |
Reference drug | 6 | 5 | 35 ± 19.15ns |
Anti-Tryps serum (μl/g bw) | |||
2.5 | 6 | 4 | 8 ± 17.89ns, a |
5 | 5 | 3 | 4 ± 8.94*,a |
F = 4.39; P = 0.02 |
Asterisks show the significant difference (P < 0.05) between the groups of mice that received the anti-tryps serum and the control group (Normal serum). Letters show the significant difference (P < 0.05) between the groups of mice that received the anti-tryps polyclonal serum.
