Mean (± standard error) values of D-dimer (mg/l) at 2, 3, 6 and 9 weeks post-inoculation (p.i.) in red foxes experimentally infected with Angiostrongylus vasorum and uninfected controls. Groups: Juv50 (■), Juv200 (▲), JuvC (●) (controls), Ad50 (□), Ad200 (∆), and AdC (○) (controls). Upper reference range for juvenile foxes are indicated by horizontal dashed line. All adults had 0.1 mg/l at 2 weeks p.i. and reference range could not be constructed. Note: Juv, juvenile foxes; Ad, adult foxes; 50/200, animals inoculated with 50 or 200 infective third-stage larvae, respectively
