Daily exercise distance and duration of fat-tailed dunnarts during N. caninum tachyzoite infection. The activity of all experimental animals was individually monitored and is presented as a daily sum; most activity was recorded during the night for all days post-infection. The activity reflects the use of an exercise wheel in their enclosures. Daily number of revolutions is translated into daily distance per animal (a) and time spent on the wheel (b). Experiment A, B1 and B2 are shown (negative control animals' daily activity [o] is connected with a solid line; N. caninum infected animals' daily activities [■] are connected with intermittent lines). B11 and B2C failed to use the exercising wheel; B11 remained active (running within the enclosure) until day 8 post infection; B2C remained active throughout the experiment.
