Fig. 1.

Time-response curve representing post-exposure prophylactic activity of pyrantel pamoate against A. cantonensis. The red trend line represents the time-dependent activity of pyrantel pamoate. In the 2-h treatment, the mean number of worms recovered is calculated inclusive of the outliers with 24 worms (n = 6), as well as excluding this outlier (n = 5) with the change in the time-response curve represented by the dotted blue line.

** Statistical significance as compared to the (no drug) controls (P < 0.005). (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
