Body mass over the course of treatment and organs mass at the last day of treatment of noninfected (a) and L. infantum-infected (b) mice. Animals were treated with empty scYCWPs (scYCWPs), T6-loaded scYCWPs (scYCWPs + T6), T6 alone (T6), and miltefosine was used as standard drug against visceral leishmaniasis. Results were expressed as mean ± standard error (n = 4). Significant differences at *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01.
