Group	Season	RBC (M/uL) (5.0–10.0)^a	Hct (%) (28.0–38.0)^a	Hb (g/dL) (9.0–14.0)^a
Control group	Spring	8.9 ± 0.1	34.4 ± 0.5	11.7 ± 0.2
	Summer	7.9 ± 0.2	30.9 ± 0.6	11.0 ± 0.2
	Difference	1.0 ± 0.1**	3.5 ± 0.4**	0.8 ± 0.1
Ivermectin-treated group	Spring	8.6 ± 0.1	31.9 ± 0.4	11.4 ± 0.1
	Summer	7.8 ± 0.1	30.2 ± 0.3	10.7 ± 0.1
	Difference	0.8 ± 0.1 **	1.8 ± 0.3**	0.7 ± 0.1**

The difference represents the subtraction of summer results from spring results
Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. P values were obtained by Shapiro-Wilk test (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01)
