Table 1.
Experimental setup and outcome.
Figure 1.
Body mass changes in European Robins Erithacus rubecula over the course of the infection experiment.
Body mass is presented as the mean (±2 SE) of all individuals in each treatment group for each day over the course of the experiment. Challenge time points are marked with stars (*) for the human C. jejuni isolate 00F4382 and a bracket (#) for the Song Thrush isolate 00-4:268. Blood sampling time points are noted with hatched reference lines at days 0, 6, 13, and 25 post-infection.
Figure 2.
Development of antibody responses over the course of the infection experiment.
For each treatment group and sampling occasion, the mean (with 95% confidence interval) of the birds' antibody responses (mOD/min) to membrane proteins of the (A) human C. jejuni isolate 00F4382 and (B) the Song Thrush isolate 00-4:268 are given. The control birds are shown in blue, TR1 birds in green, and TR2 birds in yellow. Samples were taken at days 0, 6, 13, and 25 post-infection.
