Parasitological burden. The worm counts per individual mouse (P = 0.0002) a as well as the egg load per gram of liver (P < 0.0001) b and per gram of intestine (P = 0.0009) c are represented for mice in the saline control group, the adjuvant alone control group (Montanide ISA 720VG), and the experimental group (20 μg Sm-cathepsin B with Montanide ISA 720 VG). Worm and egg burdens were determined 7 weeks post cercarial challenge. (ns = not significant, * P < 0.05, *** P < 0.001)
