FIG. 1.

(a) Adult worm loads in the thoracic cavity. Numbers of adult worms in infected MBP^−/− and EPO^−/− mice were significantly increased in comparison to the 129/SvJ control mice at day 28 p.i. No significant differences were detectable between MBP^−/− and EPO^−/− mice. The horizontal line in each box represents the median. The upper/lower line of each box represent the 75%/25% percentile. Lines above and below represent the 10% and 90% percentiles. The data are from one representative experiment out of two, comprising five animals per group. Asterisks indicate significant differences (P < 0.05). (b) Length of female adult worms in the thoracic cavity at day 28 p.i. Female adult worms recovered from the thoracic cavities of both knockout mice are significantly longer than those from the 129/SvJ control mice. The data are from one representative experiment out of two, comprising five animals per group. Asterisks indicate significant differences (P < 0.05).
