FIG. 4.

Recovery of schistosomes in mice treated with ARA/infant formula. BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice infected with cercariae of S. mansoni or S. haematobium were treated orally with ARA/infant formula for 15 days at the prepatent or patent period, and the worm burden was evaluated 42 and 90 days after infection, respectively. The bars represent mean worm burdens in 8 or 10 mice, and the error bars depict the SD about the mean. Star, P < 0.05; single asterisk, P < 0.01; and double asterisk, P < 0.001.
