Parasitemia (EG vs Con):
Similar peak, parasite clearance after 1 recrudescence
Additional phenotypes (EG vs Con):
Similar (No NO3- in serum during peak parasitemia); no ↑ IgM and detection of IgG1 during peak and recrudescent parasitemia; survival was abrogated by anti-IgG and anti-IgG1 treatment, but not by treatment with anti-IgG2a
