Table 1.
List of Trichinella species and genotypes included in the study.
Fig 1.
T. spiralis (a), T. britovi (b), T. pseudospiralis (c) and T. nativa (d), Trichuris sp. (e), Hyostrongylus rubidus (f) and Metastrongylus sp. (g) on a zoomed range of 2,000–10,000 m/z (mass to charge ratio). Highlighted peaks are mere examples of visual difference observed between the isolates, e.g. through presence/absence of a peak or variations in terms of peak intensities.

Composite correlation index analysis.
Changes in color from red to blue correspond to decreasing degrees of correlation.
