Prevalence and intensity of Myxobolus pseudodispar in fish blood in exposure trial #2.

(A) Prevalence of the parasite in host species in the relation of sampling time. (B) Boxplot of infection intensity in different fish species. Significant differences A: p < 0.001, B: p = 0.003. (C) Boxplot of infection intensity by fish species and sampling time. Letters above boxes indicate significant differences: A: p = 0.002, b: p = 0.035, c: p = 0.020, d: p = 0.015. Rr: common roach Rutilus rutilus; Ab: common bream Abramis brama; Se: rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus; n.d. = no data; Log₁₀CNRQ: log10 transformed, calibrated normalized relative quantities of parasite DNA based on qPCR measurements.
