Figure 6

The number of lung granulomas of the mice that were inoculated with eggs of the S. mansoni BH (Group I) or SJ (Group II) strains and of those that were previously infected with the S. mansoni BH strain and then inoculated 8 weeks later with eggs from the S. mansoni BH (Group III) or SJ (Group IV) strains. The mice were euthanized 1, 8, 15 or 34 days after inoculation with the eggs. At each time point, the means depicted with the same letter do not differ significantly ( ).
