Cry5B treatment reduces fecal egg excretion (A) and intestinal hookworm burden (B) in infected hamsters. (A) Fecal samples from infected animals were collected at the times indicated, and hookworm eggs were quantified as described in Materials and Methods. All values are the means ± SE. Asterisks indicate statistical significance (P < 0.05) vs. the infected control group. (B) Individual worm burdens are indicated by closed circles, and the means of each group are shown by horizontal bars. Brackets indicate statistical comparisons between groups, with P values shown.
