<i>Trichuris muris</i> worm burdens and worm biomass in C57BL/6 mice in laboratory versus outdoor environments at 3 weeks p.i.

<p>(<b>A</b>) Worm burdens and (<b>B</b>) worm biomass from infected C57BL/6 mice residing in laboratory and outdoor environments at 3 weeks p.i. Lab: <i>N</i> = 8; Short-term Wild: <i>N</i> = 10; Long-term Wild: <i>N</i> = 10. (<b>C</b>) Worm burdens and (<b>D</b>) worm biomass from C57BL/6 and STAT6-/- mice residing outdoors for the short-term at 3 weeks p.i. C57BL/6: <i>N</i> = 4; STAT6-/-: <i>N</i> = 5. Box centers show the medians, and the upper and lower box edges correspond to the 25th and 75th percentiles. Whiskers extend 1.5 times the interquartile range.
