The mean number of mucous cells (per 100,000 μm2) in uninfected Squalius cephalus (grey columns) compared with conspecifics parasitised with the acanthocephalan Pomphorhynchus laevis (black columns). Mucous cells were counted for their staining affinity to alcian blue (AB), to periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) or to their combination (AB/PAS). Error bars represent the mean standard error, while the asterisk indicates a significant difference between groups (p < 0.01)
