Skin. Dog naturally infected with Leishmania (L.) chagasi. A) Semi-quantitative analyses of parasite load (median scores and 25–75 percentile intervals) of clinically affected and asymptomatic and control dogs. * p < 0.05 (Kruskal Wallis and Student-Newman-Keuls tests). B) Semi-quantitative analyses of inflammatory infiltrate in the skin (median scores and 25–75 percentile intervals) in symptomatic, asymptomatic and non-infected control dogs. * p < 0.05 (Kruskal Wallis and Dunn tests). C) Correlation between presence of amastigotes and inflammatory infiltrate in symptomatic dogs. P < 0.05 (Spearman's test). N = number of animals per group.
