  Table S1. Roles of various components of immune responses in resistance to S. venezuelensis. Fig. S1. DT-treated wild-type mice and PBS-treated Mcpt8^DTR/+ mice or MasTRECK mice exhibited similar kinetics of clearance of S. venezuelensis eggs during primary infections. Fig. S2. Numbers of worms collected from the small intestines 8 days after a primary S. venezuelensis infection. Fig. S3. Changes in numbers of basophils and mast cells in wild-type and mast cell- and/or basophil-deficient mice during primary and secondary S. venezuelensis infections. Fig. S4. Changes in numbers of basophils and mast cells in mice deficient in various components of immune responses during primary and secondary S. venezuelensis infections. Fig. S5. Confirmation of depletion of CD4⁺ T cells or NK cells by antibody treatment. Fig. S6. Serum total IgE, total IgG1, and S. venezuelensis-specific IgG1 in Ighm-deficient mice and the corresponding wild-type mice during primary and secondary S. venezuelensis infections. Fig. S7. Summary of importance of various immune cells, antibodies, and receptors in primary and secondary S. venezuelensis infections.
