Parasite load in the different feeding treatments. (A) The number of Glugoides intestinalis spore clusters in the gut of Daphnia magna (mean ± SE) for animals fed with the P-sufficient food (HP inf) and for animals fed with the P-limited food (LP inf) at the end of 32 day and 14 day population experiments, and in animals exposed individually before allocation to the two feeding treatments. (B) The number of spore clusters (mean ± SE) per Daphnia biomass (μg C) in the P-sufficient (HP inf) and the P-limited (LP inf) treatments at the end of 32 day and 14 day population experiments. Pairwise comparisons between treatments within different experiments: *P <0.05, **P <0.01, NS not statistically significant.
