  1. T. spiralis adult worm count was represented as mean ± SD. In contrast, the efficacy was represented as a percentage based on the following low %: Efficacy = [(Mean count in the infected control group − Mean count in the study group) / Mean count in the infected control group] × 100
  2. ap-value is significantly different from the control based on the Student’s t-test
  3. bp-value is significantly different when comparing groups based on the one-way ANOVA test
  4. cp-value significantly differs between groups depending on a post hoc test (Dunnett T3)
  5. *p-value < 0.05 is significant
  6. **p-value < 0.01 is highly significant
