Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae infecting Salmo trutta and Oncorhynchus mykiss. Comparison of relative parasite load in kidneys of infected brown trout (BT) and infected rainbow trout (RT) at different time points. Normalized relative parasite load as determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in kidneys of infected brown trout and infected rainbow trout. The qRT-PCR data were log₁₀-transformed and analyzed for significance at each time point. Boxplot details as in Fig. 1
