A comparable parasitemia count (6h: 8/macrophage and 6/macrophage; 24 h: 13/macrophage and 11/macrophage) between non-stimulated and stimulated cells at both 6 and 24 h was observed showing that IFNγ stimulation has no detrimental effect on the intracellular parasite load. Here, IFNG is linked to parasitic infectious disease.
