Figure 1. Correlation of parasite burdens with small intestine, liver, and total animal weight for chickens and turkeys infected with Ascaridia galli and Ascaridia dissimilis, respectively: The number of parasites recovered from each bird is plotted on the x-axis, and the weight of the small intestine (A), liver (B), and total weight (C) are shown on the y-axis. A correlation model (dashed line) was applied to each data set, and R2 values of each correlation are shown.
