Weeks after inoculation | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
No. of cercariae inoculated | 1 | 3 | 7 | |
Positive/examined mice on chip | 200 | 3/3 | 4/4 | 9/9 |
100 | NA | 3/4 | 5/5 | |
Average Tt ± s.d. (min) | 200 | 95 ± 3 | 71 ± 21 | 60 ± 10 |
100 | NA | 75 ± 25* | 67 ± 18 |
*The threshold time Tt of negative samples was not included in the calculation of the average.
