TABLE 3.

Gross hydrosalpinx scores following primary and secondary infections with differing doses

Infectiona Doseb No. of OD with score ofc:
0 1 2 3
1 × 107 17 6 9 2
1.5 × 105 12 8 5 7
1 × 104 10 13 9 2
1 × 107 6 9 14 3
1.5 × 105 9 11 8 4
1 × 104 11 11 3 7
a

1°, primary infection; 2°, repeat infection.

b

There was no statistical difference by dose in the number of oviducts with respective hydrosalpinx scores by Spearman rank order correlation (P > 0.05).

c

Number of oviducts per dose assigned respective hydrosalpinx scores based on gross diameter following removal of genital tracts from mice 49 days post-primary infection (1°) or 6 days after a repeat infection (2°). Data are representative of results from four independent experiments with four to seven mice per experiment. Hydrosalpinx scores are as follows: 0, none; 1, increase; 2, 2.5 mm in diameter; and 3, ≥ 3.5 mm in diameter.
