Z and P values from the nonparametric Wilcoxon signed-rank tests comparing pre- and posttreatment antibody levels are shown for each antibody isotype. Significant results (P < 0.05) are highlighted in bold and those significant after Bonferroni-adjustmentin italic font.CAP: cercariae antigen preparation, SWAP: soluble worm antigen preparation, and SEA: soluble egg antigen.
