Figure 1. Parasitological and histological comparisons between BALB/c and CBA mice.

Figure 1

Worm abundance (A) and hepatic egg burden (B) did not differ significantly between strains; egg clustering (C) was significantly greater in CBA mice compared to BALB/c mice at 7 weeks p.i, yet the mean number of eggs per cluster (D) did not differ significantly between strains. Granuloma area (E) was significantly greater in CBA mice compared to BALB/c mice, as was hepatic fibrosis at 7 weeks p.i (F). Statistical significance between strains was determined using 2-Way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc tests. ▴ = BALB/c replicates, ▪ = CBA replicates, *** = p<0.001, * = p<0.05, ns = no significant difference. Error bars represent mean with standard error of the mean (SEM).
