Figure 3

Red cell hematological parameters of chickens infected with Plasmodium gallinaceum, treated (black bars) or not (gray bars), with aminoguanidine and grouped by parasitemia ranges (PR). (A) Number of erythrocytes. (B) Hematocrit. (C) Hemoglobin concentration. (D) MCV. (E) MCHC. For noninfected chickens: n = 22 for untreated and treated; for PR of 1–10: n = 24 for untreated and n = 30 for treated; for PR of 11–20: n = 14 for untreated and n = 16 for treated; for PR of 21–30: n = 5 for untreated and n = 11 for treated; for PR of 31–40: n = 6 for untreated and n = 7 for treated; for PR of 41–50: n = 4 for untreated and n = 6 for treated; for PR of > 50: n = 4 for untreated and treated; for chronic chickens: n = 44 for untreated and n = 46 for treated. ## Statistically significant (p < 0.01) in relation to the noninfected value. *Statistically significant (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01 for **) in relation to the respective untreated value. Data are from two independent experiments.
