Cercarial antigens recognized on Western blots by IgY from domestic ducks and mallards of all experimental groups. Antigens are ordered according to their molecular weights (axis Y). Data are expressed as the numbers of sera (axis X) recognizing particular antigens. Red bars (Inf) - sera from infected animals; white bars (Ctrls) - sera from control non-infected animals. Charts A-E correspond to the time slots post-infection, chart F contains cumulative data from all time slots. Numbers of tested sera from particular groups of infected domestic ducks and mallards are in parentheses: a - 10 dpi (24 SD, 6 RD, 6 RM, 5 LD, 4 SM); b - 15 dpi (11 SD, 5 LD); c - 20 dpi (24 SD, 6 RD, 6 RM, 5 LD, 4 SM); d - 30 dpi (23 SD, 5 RD, 6 RM, 5 LD, 4 SM); e - 40 dpi (18 SD, 5 RD, 5 RM, 5 LD, 4 SM); f - cumulative results from all time intervals. Antigens reacting with less than 10 % of sera were omitted. Only antigens in the range between 10 and 80 kDa are shown for better clarity
