Advanced stages of T. carassii infection lead to vasodilation of the caudal vein.
Wild type zebrafish larvae (5 dpf) were infected with 200 T. carassii or injected with PVP as non-infected control. Images are selected frames from high-speed videos. (A-C) Representative images of caudal artery and caudal vein (dashed lines) region at various time points after infection. Scale bars indicate 50 µm. (D) Maximum diameter of the caudal vein in non-infected (open symbols) and infected individuals (closed symbols) at 2–3 dpi (squares) and 6–8 dpi (triangles). Each value is the average of at least three measurements taken at different locations within the caudal vein of the same individual. Numbers indicate average and standard deviation.
