Table 1. Efficacy of the ABZ:RM-β-CD formulation on the muscle larval load of Trichinella spiralis infected CBi+ males.

Group Relative larval load* Coefficient of variation (%) Larval load reduction percentage**
I)ABZ 580±133.4a,b 51.4 76a (65–90)
II)ABZ:RM-β-CD 435±63.0b 32.4 84a (79–90)
III)Control 2712±500.5a 41.3

Differences among groups were evaluated with the Kruskal-Wallis test, using Dunn’s post-test for comparisons between groups (Relative larval load), or by the non parametric Mann-Whitney test (Larval load reduction percentage).

For each variable, differences between groups not sharing the same superscript are significant at the 0.001 level.

Larval load was measured in the tongue, a preferred site of encystment in mice.
