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.
