Summary of experimental conditions, the number of replicates per experimental condition and the number of samples.
Fig 1.
The percentage of dead S. mansoni cercariae at different concentrations and exposure times of two powder soaps: (A) Kleesoft and (B) Omo. Each data point represents the average of four replicates with the error bar indicating ±1 standard deviation. 1 indicates that all cercariae died at 60 minutes post-exposure and the number of dead cercariae counted at 60 minutes was used as the total number of the sample to obtain the mortality percentage at each exposure time.2 The long dashed grey line was used to connect data points of 0 and 5 minutes at 1000 mg/L and was extended to 60 minutes, as all cercariae were dead at 5 minutes of exposure.
Fig 2.
The percentage of dead S. mansoni cercariae at different concentrations and exposure times of two bar soaps: (A) B29 and (B) Rungu.
Each data point represents the average of four replicates with the error bar indicating ±1 standard deviation. 1 The long dash grey line was used to connect data points of 0 and 5 minutes or 15 minutes at 1000 mg/L and was extended to 60 minutes, as all cercariae were dead at 5 or 15 minutes of exposure.
