Eosinophil cell numbers in intestinal tissues of different groups of mice. Infection of mice with T. spiralis significantly increased eosinophil cell number in intestinal tissue/high power field (HPF) compared to uninfected mice. Treatment with either A. annua or albendazole (positive control) did not result in significant change (ns) in eosinophil cell numbers infiltrating the mucosa and submucosa of small intestine compared to infected untreated mice. Asterisk (*) indicate significant difference between uninfected and infected untreated mice (p < 0.007), whereas ns, non-significant.
