Effects of diet (low-protein food or normal food) and parasite dose (0, 50 or 200 L3 week⁻¹) on worm load, relative weight change and intestinal permeability (absorption of FD4) at day 28 post-infection (pi) in BALB/c and CBA mice. The box plots indicate the median, first and third quartiles and range of the data. (a) Number of adult H. polygyrus worms in BALB/c (a) and CBA mice (b). Relative weight change day 0–28 in BALB/c (c) and CBA mice (d). FD4 concentration in BALB/c (e) and CBA mice (f).
