From: Reciprocal cross infection of sticklebacks with the diphyllobothriidean cestode Schistocephalus solidus reveals consistent population differences in parasite growth and host resistance

Fig. 1

Infectivity of S. solidus in different host-parasite combinations. Infection rate (%) in (a) pure NO- and pure DE-sticklebacks and (b) in F1 hybrid sticklebacks of both parental combinations. Each fish was exposed to a single procercoid of S. solidus from either the NO- or the DE-population. Significant differences in infection success of S. solidus from the two origins within sticklebacks of the same origin (vertical comparison), as well as of S. solidus of the same origin between sticklebacks of different origin (horizontal comparison), are indicated by * (P < 0.05)
