  1. Statistical significance (p < 0.05* and p < 0.01**) compared to control group: CI: control group – infected animals treated with 7% ethanol-water solution diluted in water (10μL/mL) offered ad libitum; BIOTPI: infected animals treated with biotherapic BIOTTc 17dH diluted in water (10μL/mL) offered ad libitum from the day of the infection until the death of the animals; BIOT4PI: infected animals treated with biotherapic BIOTTc 17dH diluted in water (10μL/mL) offered ad libitum from the 4th day of the infection until the death of the animals; BIOT4-5–6: infected animals treated with biotherapic BIOTTC 17dH by gavage on the 4th, 5th and 6th day of the infection; BIOT7-8–9: infected animals treated with biotherapic BIOTTC 17dH by gavage on the 7th, 8th and 9th day of the infection. AUC = area under the curve (parasites/ mL); Ptotal = total parasitemia (parasites/ mL); Pmax = maximum peak of parasites (parasites/ mL); Day of Pmax = Day of maximum peak of parasites; P8thDI = number of tripomastigotes on 8th day of infection (parasites/ mL); 2nd Pmax = number of tripomastigotes in the 2nd peak of parasites (parasites/ mL); Day of 2nd Pmax = Day of 2nd peak of parasites; 2ndPEAK n/N = number of animals that showed 2nd peak of parasites (n)/ total number of infected animals (N) x 100.
