Motility of T. pyriformis determined
as the track speed mean was assessed 0 and 20 h postinfection treatment.
Bar in the middle represents the median, and dot represents the mean.
For the downmost 4 groups, nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis test
was performed in comparison with the group of “T. pyriformis alone”, respectively. For the
other 8 groups at 20 hpit, nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis test
with multiple comparisons was performed to investigate the effect
of LPN encapsulation. The statistical differences are indicated as
follows: * P < 0.05, **** P <
0.0001.
