Table 3 Characterization of Microphallus papillorobustus populations in gammarid brains used for Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) experiments, and NOS-IR levels in brains infected with one metacercaria (mc).
Gammarids' behavioral status | Number of brains | Number of infected brains | Number of mcs per infected brain | Number of brains with one mc* | Percent difference in the number of NOS-IR particles** |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Â | Â | Â | Mean (Range) | Â | Mean (Range) |
MAD | 22 | 22 | 2.2 (1 - 7) | 8 | 32.6 (-7 to 83) |
Normal | 17 | 5 | 1.6 (1 - 3) | 3 | 3.4 (-9 to 17) |
