Figure 3From: Comparison of worm development and host immune responses in natural hosts of schistosoma japonicum, yellow cattle and water buffaloWorms were collected from the two groups at 7w post infection. (A) Worm length compared between the two groups; (B) the worm recovery rate in each group was calculated from the number of worms perfused at 7w post infection versus the number of cercariae infected, respectively; (C) comparison of the numbers of paired worms versus the total worms collected from yellow cattle and water buffalo; (D) male worms, the upper worm was from water buffalo and the lower worm was from yellow cattle; (E) female worms, upper from water buffalo and lower from yellow cattle. Level of significance when compared to water buffalo group, **p < 0.01. The number of worms compared per group was at least n = 50 for females and males, respectively, and included worms from all animals.Back to article page
