A comparative in vitro study was carried out to determine the ovicidal and larvicidal activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Ageratum conyzoides (Asteraceae) leaves on the eggs (unembryonated and embryonated), first and second larval stages of Heligmosomoides bakeri. Four different concentrations (0.625, 1.25, 2.5, and 3.75 mg·mL(-1)) of both aqueous and ethanolic extracts were tested. D...

background and objectives:increased antibiotic resistance as a result of using antimicrobial drugs and also their various adverse effects has caused that in recent years, investigation of medicinal plants beconsidered for discovering new medicinal resources against bacterial infections. this study was performed with the objective of determining the antimicrobial activity of aqueous and ethanoli...

background: the relaxant and anticholinergic (functional antagonism) effects, histamine h 1 inhibitory effect, and calcium channel blocking effect of nigella sativa have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains.  several therapeutic effects including anti-asthma and dyspnea have also been ascribed to the seeds of nigella sativa.   objective: to evaluate the antitussive effect of this pla...

Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes root rot disease in more than 500 plant species but no registered fungicide is available for its control. The present study was carried out to investigate the antifungal activity of aqueous leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica A. Juss., Melia azedarach L. and Toona ciliata Roxb. (Meliaceae) against M. phaseolina. Aq...

in this research the effects of different levels of oily and aqueous extracts of chamomile flower on biochemical characteristics and quality of breast meat were examined. using 400 broiler chicken (cup 500) in to 5 treatments, with 4 replicates and 20 chickens per replicate chicken were daily treated with 85 and 128 mg per kg body weight aqueous extracts, and 14 and 21 mg per kg body weight of ...

The effect of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of the leaves of Mallotus philippensis (Lam.) Muell. Arg. was studied on the spontaneous movements of the whole worm and nerve-muscle (n.m.) preparation of Setaria cervi and on the survival of microfilariae in vitro. Both the extracts caused inhibition of spontaneous motility of whole worm and the n.m. preparation of S. Cervi characterized by initial...

Background and Aim: In recent years, due to the indiscriminate and irrational use of synthetic drugs, the resistance of pathogenic microorganisms has increased; therefore, new compounds are vitally needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Berberis vulgaris on Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteu...
