Increase in respiratory dysfunction in P. berghei NK65-NY and A. suum coinfected mice at the 7dpi. The parameters evaluated were: A Inspiratory capacity; B Forced vital capacity; C Forced expiratory volume; D Dynamic compliance; E Lung resistance; and F Tiffeneau index. Circle—noninfected group (n = 6), Square—P. berghei NK65-NY mono-infected group (n = 6), Triangle—A. suum mono-infected group (n = 6), Inverted triangle—coinfected group (n = 8). One-Way ANOVA test followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test were used. The results are shown as the mean ± SEM and are represented by *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; and ****p < 0.0001
