Larval burden of Trichinella britovi in muscles and muscle groups of the raccoon dogs from the Głęboki Bród Forest District, Poland. Part A – reflect to general data obtained for four groups describing the different intensity of infection; Part B – average LPG in examined muscle with respect to four groups describing the different intensity of infection. Significant dependences (p < 0.05) are marked by asterisks (*).
