The intestinal fluke Echinostoma caproni represents an ideal model parasite for investigating subpathologic changes in the murine host. We present a multicompartmental assessment of tissues and biofluids using 1H NMR spectroscopy to obtain a holistic metabolic view of the infection. Application of a novel hierarchical cluster algorithm together with conventional multivariate approaches facilitates interpretation of the systemic biochemical changes demonstrating both localized and remote effects in the host.
