Table 2 LC50 of L. lanceolata crude extracts and positive control tested against C. elegans wild type and ivermectin-, levamisole- and albendazole mutant resistant strains of the free living nematode C. elegans after 48 h and 72 h post-treatment. Data are mean ± SEM from three independent duplicate experiments
