  1. I, II and III represent three replicates of each group
  2. a, b, c, dValues within the same row followed by different letters are significantly different
  3. (A/B): A refers to the number of eggs hatched into larvae, B refers to the number of eggs laid by all mites
  4. The data of mean (%) are expressed as the mean ± SD
  5. Abbreviations: EPR, eprinomectin; MOX, moxidectin; IVM, ivermectin
