Effect of each basic medium on the mean values of T90 of L. loa L3 (a) and microfilarae (b). Microfilariae and infective larvae of Loa loa were cultured with three different media (RPMI, DMEM and IMDM) without neither serum supplement, nor feeder cells. Pairwise multiple comparisons: Dunn’s post-hoc test for multiple comparisons of independent samples. The P-values indicated here are those that were found significant when comparing two basic media. Number of observations: n = 12. Abbreviations: DMEM, Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium; IMDM, Iscove’s modified Dulbecco’s medium; RPMI, Roosevelt Memorial Park Institute; L3, third-stage infective larva; T90, mean duration at which 90% of parasites were fully active
