Figure 1

The number of adult worms, female worms and hepatic eggs per gram in all groups. Figures 1A, 1B and 1C show the average number of adult worms, female worms and liver EPG for each group, respectively. Cha-Con group was only challenged with S. japonicum normal cercariae. Vac3-Con group was vaccinated with UVAC three times at 4-week interval. Vac1-Cha group was vaccinated with UVAC at week 8 and challenged with normal cercariae at week 12. Vac3-Cha group was vaccinated with UVAC three times at 4-week interval and challenged with normal cercariae at week 12. * P value < 0.05 and ** P value < 0.01 compared to Cha-Con group. Values depicted are means ±SEM for results from six animals.
