Mixed Production of Filamentous Fungal Spores for Preventing Soil-Transmitted Helminth Zoonoses: A Preliminary Analysis

Table 1

Variations in the spore production in the different groups. ISI (Index of Sporogenesis Increment): production of spores, in each sampling day, with respect to the control one. CISI (Cumulative Index of Sporogenesis Increment): linear rise of spore production, in each sampling day, regarding the beginning of the study (day 0). Index values are expressed as percentages.
