  1. P-value is significantly different comparing with control, depending on Student t-test. *Initial P-value < 0.05 is significant. **Initial P-value < 0.01 is highly significant. G-I: negative control, G-III: Positive control (infected untreated), G-IV: prophylactically treated with B. indica BuOH frac., for seven days before infection, G-V: infected and treated with B. indica BuOH frac., G-VI: Infected and treated with albendazole
