From: Chickens treated with a nitric oxide inhibitor became more resistant to Plasmodium gallinaceum infection due to reduced anemia, thrombocytopenia and inflammation

Figure 6

Absolute numbers of total leukocytes (A), lymphocytes (B), monocytes (C) and heterophils (D) of chickens infected with Plasmodium gallinaceum treated (black bars) or not (gray bars) with aminoguanidine grouped by parasitemia range (PR). For noninfected chickens: n = 11 for untreated and n = 12 for treated; for PR of 1–10: n = 17 for untreated and n = 19 for treated; for PR of 11–20: n = 8 for untreated and n = 16 for treated; for PR of 21–30: n = 3 for untreated and n = 6 for treated; for PR of 31–40: n = 5 for untreated and n = 5 for treated; for PR of 41–50: n = 4 for untreated and n = 4 for treated; for PR of >50: n = 3 for untreated and n = 4 for treated; for chronic chickens: n = 22 for untreated and n = 16 for treated. # Statistically significant (p < 0.05) in relation to the noninfected value; * Statistically significant (p < 0.05) in relation to the respective untreated value.
