Composition of the nodules and distribution of female worms according to their uterine contents.

The evaluation of the uterine content was done from 15 µl of the homogenized suspension resulting from the crushing of each female worm. We expressed the numbers of embryos using this volume (15 µl) as arbitrary unit; sd: standard deviation; mf: microfilariae; max: maximum.

本研究取每只雌虫研磨后所得均质悬浮液的15微升（µl）样本，用于子宫内容物的检测评估。本研究以该体积（15 µl）作为任意单位来表示胚胎数量；标准差（sd, standard deviation）；微丝蚴（mf, microfilariae）；最大值（max, maximum）。
