Quantitative
Counting parasites
- Quantifying parasites in a sample of hosts or comparing measures of infection across two or more samples can be challenging.
- The parasitic infection of a sample of hosts inherently exhibits a complex pattern that cannot be adequately quantified by a single statistical measure.
- As the use of two or more separate indices is advisable, only two or more separate statistical tests can reliably compare infections different samples of hosts.
