Anti-malarial function of C-lobe with malaria challenge test. The malaria challenge was conducted as described in Fig. 2 legend. (a) Protocol detailing parasite infection, bLF administration, and blood sampling. (b) Parasitemia in samples-treated mice. Black squares on dotted line represent the PBS-treated group, black circles on the solid line represent the bLF-treated group, cross mark on dotted line represent the bLF (2 × mol), white circles on the solid line represent the C-lobe treated group. (c) The graph displays data from day 5 post-infection. %inhibition denotes the relative reduction in parasite growth compared to the PBS control. *P < 0.05 vs. PBS control, assessed using the Mann–Whitney U test.
