  1. Notes: ETCR was the susceptible isolate used for calculating resistance ratios in the initial assays and Barrow 1.0 was used for the EHA and ETCR 1.0 for the LDA in subsequent assays. Initial assays were performed singly using ETCR, ETCR 1.0, Barrow, Tara, Lacy, Worthy, Worthy 1.1F and Worthy 2.1F and subsequent assays were performed in triplicate using Barrow 1.0 and Worthy 4.1F3P, in order to improve the precision of the estimate and reduce the width of the 95% confidence intervals (CI). The values for Barrow 1.0 and Worthy 4.1F3P represent the mean IC50 of three biological replicate assays, with each thiabendazole concentration measured in triplicate. IC95 values were also calculated for the EHA. Resistance ratios (RR) were calculated as IC50/95 resistant isolate/IC50/95 susceptible isolate; RR are not provided for the susceptible isolates or where assays were not performed, as this value has no relevance in those instances
