Disease course in mice infected with P. berghei NK65 or P. chabaudi AS. C57BL/6J mice were injected intraperitoneally with 10⁴ erythrocytes infected with P. berghei (PbNK65) or P. chabaudi AS (PcAS). Peripheral parasitaemia (a) and weights of the livers (b) were determined at day 8 and 10 post infection. n = 15–16 mice for each time point and strain. Data are pooled from three different experiments performed in the same conditions. **p < 0.01; vs control; °p < 0.05 P. berghei NK65 vs P. chabaudi AS
