C and R represent pooled infections from control and restored sites respectively.�Numbers listed above the C and R symbols are year post-restoration.�Values given in the upper table are total infections and include the double infections listed in the lower table.�

Numbers in this lower table represent the frequency and species composition of double infections observed for each year at control and restored sites.�Summary values for total snails, total infected snails, and total infections are given for each year at control and restored sites.
