Pathological outcomes. (a) Whole livers imaged post-infection showing visual pathology. Liver portions were subsequently prepared for histology and stained using haematoxylin and eosin or Masson's trichrome. Representative images show qualitative (b) granuloma sizes (outlined in orange) and (c) egg-induced fibrosis (collagen stained in blue) for each group. Scale bars represent 100 μm. (n=8). Quantitative (d) granuloma sizes (n=24-32) and (e) fibrotic areas (n=25-37) delimited and measured using ZenBlue and QuPath software, respectively. All data are presented as the mean ± SEM of two independent experiments. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 (Kruskal-Wallis test).
