Fig. 3: Relationships between parasite load and PKD symptoms.
From: Dams threaten salmonids by triggering temperature-dependent proliferative kidney disease
A Parasite load and renal hyperplasia (measured as K/B-ratio), B Parasite load and hematocrit, and C Renal hyperplasia and hematocrit, presented as loess regressions. Individuals from Tb absent rivers and uninfected individuals from Tb present rivers are treated as two sets of control data (all parasite loads = 0), presented as a Tukey boxplots to the left of the regressions, with their pooled mean values represented as a blue line (with 95% CI) crossing the regression graph.
