Comparative Studies of Ethanolic and Aqueous Extracts of Bambusa Vulgaris for Anthelmintic Activities in Infected Rabbits
نویسنده
چکیده
Ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Bambusa vulgaris leaf were comparatively screened for anthelmintic activities; ethanolic extract appeared to be more potent in expelling the ova of Ascaris worm and the treated rabbits showed rapid weight gain with a mean value of 0.25kg after treatment as against 0.21g during infection than aqueous extracts. These suggest that they could serve as an alternative source of anthelmintic agent to patented anthelminthic drugs.

The anthelmintic activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Morinda citrifolia fruit (noni) was evaluated in chicken naturally infected by Ascaridia galli. The anthelmintic activity in vitro was determined in adult parasites. The aqueous and ethanolic extracts were used in the following concentrations: 1.69; 3.37; 6.74; 13.48 e 26.96 mg.mL(-1) and 4.17; 8.34; 16.68; 33.36 and 66.72 mg.mL(-1)...
