The only child infected with A. lumbricoides had a moderate infection intensity.
Infection intensity was measured as noted above and miracidia hatched from infected individuals' stools (pre-retreatment).
Infection intensity in workers averaged 8.2 × 107 spores/bee.
The highest infection intensity was detected in 30-day-old-fries.
Human genome scans have identified a locus responsible for controlling Schistosoma mansoni infection intensity on chromosome 5q31 q33.
Under this scenario, one could expect hosts with intermediate levels of infection intensity to have highest fitness, yielding a non-linear relationship between infection intensity and fitness.
ANA levels were related to schistosome infection intensity and systemic IL-10 levels.
Helminth infection intensity was assessed by microscopic examination of urine and stool samples.
Infection intensity was scored on a semi-quantitative scale form 0 to 3: 0 = A.
Other outcome measures included: human infection intensity, bovine infection rates and intensity of infection.
Under this scenario one would expect a non-linear relationship between infection intensity and fitness.
