Parasitized females gave birth to slightly less pups (mean 3.36 ± 0.38) than unparasitized females (mean 3.60 ± 0.40). Controlling for natal litter size using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), T. arvicolae infection had a significant effect on the individual mass at birth, with pups from parasitized females having significantly lower mass (2.11 g ± 0.01) than pups from unparasitized females (2.20 g ± 0.01). Other measures of host reproductive outputs (time to first reproduction, mass of pups at weaning, litter survival) were not affected by maternal parasite infection.
