Profiles of strain “dominance” in mixed strain infections. A strain was considered dominant when >70% of cercariae in a sample comprised that strain for both weeks in which cercarial proportions were assessed. “Variable” infections had no consistent patterns of dominance or non-dominance, while infections defined as “switched dominance” changed dominance from one week to the next. There was no directional trend associated with “switched dominance” infections and dominance profiles did not differ among exposure treatments (χ2 = 3.77, p = 0.88).
