Body weight, body temperature, hemoglobin and total RBC during PbA infection. a. Body weight normalized to the body weight before infection (%). b. Body temperature as measured in infected and control group. c. Hemoglobin level as measured in infected and control group. d. Total RBCs as measured in infected and control group. Lines represent mean ± S.E.M., while N = 7 per group. All data are representative of three independent experiments and compared by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey's multiple comparison post-hoc test for differences between groups (**p < 0.005; ***p < 0.0001). All data are representative of three different experiments.
