Generalized linear mixed model of the variations of detectable parasite burden in nine tissues according to the mode of infection of the lamb and to the mode of conservation of the samples (bold: significant effects, at a 0.05 threshold).

Variable Value Ratio of detectable parasite burden (95% CI) p-value
Mode of infection Experimental (reference)
Natural 0.0003 (0.00006–0.002) <0.0001
Mode of conservation Frozen (reference)
Fresh 4.7 (2.7–8.1) <0.0001

Tissues (brain, heart, lung, intestine, tongue, diaphragm, quadriceps femoral muscle, intercostal muscles, and deltoid muscle samples) and lamb were treated as random effects.
