Table I. Relative lethal synergy of GNPs with microwave in the death of Leishmania major promastigotes at different times.

Figure 2. Changes in the promastigote survival rate with or without GNPs after microwave irradiation at the different periods. The data show the mean survival rate of the five separate experiments ± standard deviation.

Figure 3. Changes in amastigotes survival rate, percentage of infectious macrophages and mean number of macrophage in each microscopic field in the presence and absence of GNPs with microwave irradiating for 13 s and without irradiation. Data show mean of the five separate experiments ± standard deviation.
