Figure 1From: Cryptosporidium parvum competes with the intestinal epithelial cells for glucose and impairs systemic glucose supply in neonatal calvesBody weight (A), internal body temperature (B), fecal consistency (C) and oocyst shedding (D) in control (gray boxes) and infected calves (red boxes). A The body weight was not different between the groups on day 0 and 6 pi but increased significantly over time. B The internal body temperature was not different between the groups or time points. C Fecal samples were scored from 0 to 3 (0 = normal, 1 = mushy, 2 = liquid, 3 = liquid with blood addition) and compared between the groups on each day, resulting in a significantly higher score in the infected calves from day 4 pi. D Oocyst shedding culminated on day 4 pi. Boxes show median and percentiles plus error bars; N = 5, different letters (A, B, C) indicate significant differences between different time points within the same group, two-way RM ANOVA with post-hoc Holm-Sidak-test (A, B) and RM ANOVA on ranks with post-hoc Tukey test (D), respectively, p < 0.05. Asterisks indicate significant differences between the groups, Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test, **p < 0.01 (C).Back to article page
