Fig. 1: Vaccine- and age-mediated control of T. circumcincta infection.
From: Vaccine-induced time- and age-dependent mucosal immunity to gastrointestinal parasite infection
a Worm burdens and (b) total egg output in 3 month-old lambs with vaccination (3mo-Vax), 3 month-old lambs with adjuvant only (3mo-Ctrl), 6 month-old lambs with vaccination (6mo-Vax), and 6 month-old lambs with adjuvant only (6mo-Ctrl). Immunisation with the prototype vaccine led to a median 73.7% reduction (Pvacc = 0.002, GLM) in worm counts and 50% reduction (Pvacc = 0.026, GLM) in cumulative egg output.
