The Sb(III)-resistant parasites (SbIIIR-0.5 mM and 5.5 mM) were compared to the LIPA-WT strain in i) the speed of entry into macrophages and morphology of intra-macrophage amastigote forms (Figure S4, Supplementary data), ii) the infection rate (the representation of infected macrophages) (Fig. 5. This evidence concerns the gene LIPA and infection.
