    1<p>FEC, faecal egg count, (egg per gram of stool).</p>2<p>CI, confidence interval. The confidence intervals of the egg reduction rate were calculated using a bootstrap resampling method <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0002247#pntd.0002247-Efron1" target="_blank">[45]</a>.</p>3<p>ERR, egg reduction rate. The ERR estimates were obtained by dividing the difference between the arithmetic mean of the pre- and post-treatment FEC (at group level, ignoring individual variability) by the mean of the pre-treatment mean count (see text).</p>4<p>NA = Not applicable.</p>5<p>HW = Hookworm.</p

    Genotype frequencies of β-tubulin position 167 in <i>A. lumbricoides</i> before and after ABZ treatment.

    <p>*The number of eggs genotyped is different from the number of eggs collected. This is due to failures in DNA extraction, PCR amplification or Pyrosequencing. x̄ represents the mean number of eggs sampled per host; SD = standard deviation. The dashed lines mean that the connection between the two boxes is not direct.</p
