Figure 2.

Timeline of the experimental design. First, mice were randomly assigned to diet treatment and cohort [−3 weeks postinfection (wpi)]. Diets were provided to the second cohort 2 days later, but since both groups subsequently followed the same timeline, only one cohort is depicted for clarity. After 10 days in the lab (−2 wpi), all mice were moved to four outdoor enclosures (n = 22/enclosure). After 2 weeks, 16 mice per enclosure were trapped and infected with 200 T. muris eggs over the course of 1–3 days. Final trapping and culling occurred around 3–4 wpi (19–26 days postinfection). Inset shows an aerial view of the enclosures by diet treatment, and infected and uninfected mice were cohoused.
