a Half-maximal inhibitory concentration of extracts on piroplasm parasites in vitro. b Half-maximal effective concentration of extracts on cell lines. The values were determined from the dose-response curve using non-linear regression (curve fit analysis). The values are the means of triplicate experiments. c Ratio of the cell lines EC50 to the parasite IC50. High numbers are favorable.
