Cell counts for the infected and control spleens.

Haematological results. The cell counts from the blood samples taken from the infected and control experimental groups at day 0 (before infection) and day 28 post infection. There was a significant difference in all cell counts apart from lymphocytes and white blood cells between day 0 and day 28 in the infection group. In the control group between day 0 and 28 there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) for the white blood cells and the lymphocytes, but these values were still in the normal literature range. Significance is denoted with the blue box. Significance where the values are still in normal range are denoted by the green box and (*).
