From: Events associated with susceptibility to invasive Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi in BALB/c mice previously infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA

Figure 6

Quantification of irregularities in the small intestines caused by coinfection by Plasmodium berghei ANKA and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. Multiple comparison by Tukey test among the four types of changes evidenced in photomicrographs in coinfection Plasmodium berghei ANKA and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. (A) Appearance of ruptures in the enterocyte layer, (B) Presence of mononuclear leukocytes in the enterocyte layer, (C) Increase in goblet cells in the enterocyte layer and (D) Volume of leukocyte infiltrate in the mucosa. The data are shown in a box plot with mean and standard deviations. Asterisks: level of significance of *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005 and ***p < 0.0005.
