P. berghei NK65-E induces pronounced MA-ARDS in C57BL/6 mice but not in BALB/c mice. C57BL/6 mice were infected with P. berghei NK65-E, BALB/c mice were infected with P. berghei NK65-E or P. berghei ANKA. a Peripheral parasitaemia was determined through blood smears at the indicated time points (n = 3–21 per group). b Lung weight and c protein content in BALF were measured when mice were sacrificed at the indicated time points (control: n = 4–6 per group, infected: n = 5–12 per group). d Macrophages, e lymphocytes and f neutrophils were differentially counted in cytospins of BALF (control: n = 4–6 per group, infected: n = 5–12 per group). Asterisks on top of the bars indicate significant differences compared to the uninfected control group. Horizontal lines with n.s. on top indicate no significant differences between groups
