| n | Hookworm epg | n | Hookworm epg | |
| wt/wt | 320 | 2495 (2109–2952) | 102 | 1636 (1259–2127) |
| wt/mut | 222 | 2675 (2131–3357) | 98 | 1815 (1436–2295) |
| mut/mut | 32 | 2374 (1377–4090) | 10 | 1648 (882–3079) |
Burdens were assessed as mean eggs per gram faeces (epg) (95% CL) before anthelmintic treatment and after reinfection. Confidence intervals were calculated assuming a negative binomial error distribution.
