ǂ1Group 1 (MBD/PBO) = mebendazole at the 12-month visit and placebo at the 18-month visit; 2Group 2 (PBO/MBD) = placebo at the 12-month visit and mebendazole at the 18-month visit; 3Group 3 (MBD/MBD) = mebendazole at the 12 and 18-month visit; 4Group 4 (PBO/PBO) = placebo at the 12 and 18-month visit

†AM = arithmetic mean eggs per gram;

§GM = geometric mean eggs per gram. A value of 1 was added to each observation to calculate the geometric mean.
