Larval culture results, following anthelmintic treatment (day 10), showing the percentage of different species (%), as determined by exsheathment and total body length measurement according to different authors [18][20]. Also shown are the numbers of species detected by PCR and mean cycle threshold value (Ct).

a

Groups of sheep assigned as ABC (albendazole-untreated control), AB (albendazole treated), MPC (monepantel-untreated control), MP (monepantel treated).

b

No data available.

c

Exsheathed third-stage larvae.
