Generalized linear mixed model of the variations of detectable parasite burden in 34 muscles according to their anatomical region, position to the trunk and physiological role (bold: significant effects, at a 0.05 threshold).

|---|---|---|---|
| Anatomical region | Pelvic limb (reference) | ||
| Abdomen | 0.45 (0.11–1.85) | 0.27 | |
| Back | 0.56 (0.23–1.35) | 0.20 | |
| Head | 0.14 (0.07–0.30) | <0.0001 | |
| Neck | 0.47 (0.17–1.32) | 0.15 | |
| Tail | 0.38 (0.09–1.56) | 0.18 | |
| Thoracic limb | 1.39 (0.73–2.65) | 0.37 | |
| Thorax | 0.60 (0.21–1.67) | 0.32 | |
| Position to the trunk | Distal (reference) | ||
| Caudal | 0.41 (0.09–1.82) | 0.24 | |
| Cranial | 0.15 (0.06–0.37) | <0.0001 | |
| Dorsal | 0.47 (0.15–1.48) | 0.20 | |
| Proximal | 1.29 (0.64–2.59) | 0.47 | |
| Ventral | 0.57 (0.24–1.34) | 0.19 | |
