Survival, temperature and parasitemia of chickens infected with Plasmodium gallinaceum. (A) Survival of infected chickens treated (■) or not (●) with aminoguanidine. Mantel-Cox test p = 0.0021. (B) Correlation of temperature and parasitemia of noninfected, chronic and infected chickens treated (■,▲,●, respectively) or not (□, ∆, ○, respectively). (C) Parasitemia of chickens that chronified, when treated (■, n = 17) or not (●, n = 8). (D) Parasitemia of untreated chickens that died (♦, n = 1; ■, n = 6; ▲, n = 5; □, n = 2; ●, n = 1; ○, n = 1). (E) Parasitemia of treated chickens that died (♦, n = 2; ■, n = 1; ▲, n = 1; ●, n = 1; ○, n = 1). *Statistically significant (p < 0.05) in relation to the respective untreated value. Data are from two independent experiments, except “B” which is from one representative experiment.
