Figure 1From: Hormonal and behavioral changes induced by acute and chronic experimental infestation with Psoroptes cuniculi in the domestic rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculusLocomotor activity diminishes after mite infestation. A) Locomotor activity during the first 9 days post infestation (acute infestation). B) Total locomotor activity during acute and chronic (last 9 days) infestation. Locomotor activity was recorded as the number of times a line within the grid was crossed. The acute infestation data was obtained from the total data from the first 9 days of the acute infestation. Mean ± SE are shown (*P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001).Back to article page
