"Although the mechanism of parasite destruction was not determined, these results suggest that resistance to and recovery from a primary B. microti infection is modulated by T lymphocytes, and that depressed B cell function and normal T cell function are correlates of this infection."
I don't know what this means yet, but I'm thinking we must find ways to boost T lymphocytes.
