Scattergram of total worm burden of BALB/c mice (trial 1) immunized with complete Freund's adjuvant/incomplete Freund's adjuvant (CFA/IFA) adjuvanted recombinant first extracellular domain of Schistosoma mansoni tetraspanning orphan receptor (rSmTORed1), inclusion bodies (i. bodies) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and challenged with S. mansoni cercariae. The number of animals used per group was n = 10. Mean worm burden ± standard deviation (s.d.) for the different groups were 28·8 ± 14·6 (PBS), 24·2 ± 17·4 (inclusion bodies) and 10·4 ± 8·6 (rSmTORed1). Statistical analyses were performed using one-way analysis of variance (anova) (Kruskis–Wallis) followed by Dunn's multiple comparison test. Statistically significant *(P < 0·05), **(P < 0·01).
