Title: Generating super-shedders: co-infection increases bacterial load and egg production of a gastrointestinal helminth Document date: 2013_3_6
ID: 0952gzw1_24
Snippet: To determine whether helminth eggs shed from single and co-infected mice differed in their viability (i.e. their development to larvae) and to assess the relationship between the number of eggs shed and development to infectious L3 larvae, i.e. whether egg shedding is a good proxy for infectiousness, we compared their development with the infectious larval stage. On day 21 post-inoculation, the numbers of eggs shed were 12.7 + 2.6 s.e. EPG faeces.....
Document: To determine whether helminth eggs shed from single and co-infected mice differed in their viability (i.e. their development to larvae) and to assess the relationship between the number of eggs shed and development to infectious L3 larvae, i.e. whether egg shedding is a good proxy for infectiousness, we compared their development with the infectious larval stage. On day 21 post-inoculation, the numbers of eggs shed were 12.7 + 2.6 s.e. EPG faeces in single infected and 14.2 + 3.5 s.e. EPG of faeces in co-infected hosts. No significant difference was found in the viability of the L3 larvae between single and co-infected animals (log mean number of hatchlings + standard error: single ¼ 4.57 + 0.05; co-infected ¼ 4.74 + 0.12; GLM F 1,14 ¼ 1.765, p ¼ 0.205).
