This file contains the full results of the inoculation experiment from which susceptibility and the proportion of sexual females were determined for 13 sites in each of three years. Juvenile snails from each were exposed to high doses of parasites from Lake Alexandrina. Following parasite development, snails were evaluated for sex, infection and reproductive mode. Data columns are as follows: (1) year (n=3; 2013, 2014, and 2015); (2) site (n=13); (3) replicate (n=3-6 depending on year); (4) sexual: number of sexual females in the replicate; (5) asexual: the number of asexual females; (6) healthy: the total number of healthy females; (7) infected: the total number of females infected with Microphallus; (8) healthy_sexual: the number of healthy, sexual females; (9) infected_sexual: the number of sexual females infected with Microphallus. Columns 4 and 5 give the proportion of sexual females at a site. Columns 6 and 7 give overall susceptibility, while 8 and 9 give susceptibility of sexual females only. In 2014, the proportion of sexual females was obtained from 6 experimental replicates, and susceptibility from 3.
