Development of a Murine Infection Model with Leishmania killicki, Responsible for Cutaneous Leishmaniosis in Algeria: Application in Pharmacology

Figure 2

Evolution of indurations following infection of BALB/c mice with Leishmania killicki or Leishmania major. The ear thickness is expressed as the difference between the thicknesses of the inoculated ear and the noninoculated contralateral ear. The data represent the mean values of measures ± standard deviations (). Note: 12 weeks () after infection with L. major, ears became necrotic and showed a loss of tissue which has prompted us to interrupt the experiment at this time.
