Master spectrum dendrogram cluster analysis (correlation distance measure and single linkage) for the <i>Trichinella</i> strains generated by MALDI-TOF MS.

<p>Master spectrum dendrogram cluster analysis (correlation distance measure and single linkage) for the <i>Trichinella</i> strains generated by MALDI-TOF MS.</p

Composite correlation index analysis.

<p>Changes in color from red to blue correspond to decreasing degrees of correlation.</p

Heat map of all 33 tested <i>Trichinella</i> and 3 non-<i>Trichinella</i> strains based on log score values.

MALDI-TOF MS master spectra.

<p><i>T</i>. <i>spiralis</i> (a), <i>T</i>. <i>britovi</i> (b), <i>T</i>. <i>pseudospiralis</i> (c) and <i>T</i>. <i>nativa</i> (d), <i>Trichuris</i> sp. (e), <i>Hyostrongylus rubidus</i> (f) and <i>Metastrongylus</i> 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.</p
