Effects of Experimental Sarcocystis neurona-Induced Infection on Immunity in an Equine Model

Figure 2

Neurologic scores by (a) individual total non-experimentally infected neurologic score control (top) and (b) S. neurona experimentally infected (bottom) horses. All horses were scored biweekly via a comprehensive neurologic panel. Each parameter was assessed a score from 0 (normal) to 3 (very abnormal), with a maximum of 97. (a) Total neurologic score is reported. Baseline = preacclimatization score. Week −1 = score following acclimatization, but prior to infection. Week 1 = first week of infection with S. neurona. Results are reported by baseline-individual horse response by day and the average response of the horses by treatment by day.
