Effect of rHcTPS protein or rHcGOB protein immunization on worm burden. On the 64th day of the experiment (the 35th day post-L3-infection), the enumeration of adult H. contortus in the abomasum of all goats within each immunized group was conducted, with differentiation between male and female adults. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, asterisks indicate significant differences at *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.001 versus the control group
