The Effect of Anthelmintic Treatment on Coccidia Oocyst Shedding in a Wild Mammal Host with Intermittent Cestode Infection

Figure 1

Effect of anthelmintic treatment on the faecal shedding rate of Ctenotaenia marmotae proglottids in the Alpine marmot, M. marmota latirostris. The C. marmotae shedding rate represents proglottid numbers on the scale from 0 to 3 per gram of a faecal sample, as more precise proglottid/egg quantification was not possible due to the physical damage of most proglottids. The symbols above lines ^∗∗, ^∗, and 0.078 refer to , , and , respectively. The values reported are adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni single-step procedure.
