Table 1 Average values of physicochemical parameters in cerebrospinal fluid taken from goats from the groups experimentally infected with T.vivax and evaluated in the acute and chronic phases (G1 and G2) and from goats in the control group (G3) during the experimental period.

  1. G1 - Group experimentally infected by T. vivax and evaluated in the acute phase; G2 - Group experimentally infected by T. vivax and evaluated in the chronic phase; G3 - non-infected group.
  2. a,bMeans followed by the same lower case letters in the same column are not significantly different according to the Tukey's test at a 5% significance level.
