Table 3.

GLM results for DA activity, measured as DOPAC/DA, in uninfected and experimentally infected killifish. (Brain region codes defined in § 2. Parasite effect indicates the effect of increasing metacercarial density on DA activity. Arrows indicate increased or decreased DA activity; EI, experimentally infected fish; K, body condition. An asterisk (*) denotes significance after correction for multiple comparisons using FDR. D.f.=1 for all main effects and interactions.)
