Differential Effects on Survival, Humoral Immune Responses and Brain Lesions in Inbred BALB/C, CBA/CA, and C57BL/6 Mice Experimentally Infected with Neospora caninum Tachyzoites
Figure 1
Mean group morbidity scores ((a), (c), and (e)) and mean weight changes ((b), (d), and (f)) in BALB/c, CBA/Ca, and C57BL/6 mice following i.p. inoculation with , , or NC-Liv tachyzoites. Mice were scored for clinical symptoms including hunched back, ruffled hair coat, impaired movement, and spinning when picked up by the tail, resulting in a maximum clinical score per mouse of 4. Figures 1(a), 1(c), and 1(e) show the average clinical score per mice per group. *indicate the death of a mouse; error bars ± SD; .
