| potentilla fulgens (family rosaceae), a medicinal plant of north-east india: a natural anthelmintic? | the cestode parasite, raillietina echinobothrida and the trematode, gastrothylax crumenifer were exposed to the ethanolic root peel extract of potentilla fulgens, an antiparasitic local medicinal plant of meghalaya, india, to evaluate the anthelmintic efficacy of the plant. the parasites were incubated in 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 mg crude alcoholic extract per ml of phosphate buffered saline (pbs) at a temperature of 37 ± 1°c. paralysis and death were observed at 2.00 ± 0.05 and 2.80 ± 0.06 h fo ... | 2010 | 21966126 |
| cytotoxic and anthelmintic potential of crude saponins isolated from achillea wilhelmsii c. koch and teucrium stocksianum boiss. | abstract: background: saponins isolated from plant sources have a number of traditional and industrial applications. saponins have pharmacological effects like anti-inflammatory, molluscicidal, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, antidiabetic, anticancer, anticonvulsant, anthelmintic, antitussive and cytotoxic activities. the current work describes the anthelmintic and cytotoxic activities of crude saponins of achillea wilhelmsii and teucrium stocksianum as these plants are rich with saponins. met ... | 2011 | 22051373 |
| biodiversity and prevalence of parasites of domestic pigeons (columba livia domestica) in a selected semiarid zone of south khorasan, iran. | five species of nematodes and cestodes were collected from alimentary canals of pigeons: the nematodes were two species: ascaridia colombae (16.66%) and hadjelia truncata (1.96%), while the cestodes were cotugnia digonopora (13.79%), raillietina magninumida (18.62%) and raillietina achinobothridia (32.35%); fecal examination revealed: eimeria spp. (40.19%) and cryptosporidium oocysts (2.94%); and blood smears showed: haemoproteus cloumbae (47/05%); in mouth, throat and larynx: trichomonans galli ... | 2012 | 22081317 |
| parasites and vector-borne pathogens of southern plains woodrats (neotoma micropus) from southern texas. | from 2008 to 2010, southern plains woodrats (neotoma micropus) from southern texas, were examined for parasites and selected pathogens. eight helminth species were recovered from 97 woodrats including, trichuris neotomae from 78 (prevalence = 80%), ascarops sp. from 42 (43%), nematodirus neotoma from 31 (32%), raillietina sp. from nine (9%), taenia taeniaeformis larvae from eight (8%), and an unidentified spiurid, a scaphiostomum sp. and a zonorchis sp. each from a single woodrat. besnotia neoto ... | 2011 | 22108764 |
| surface topographical and ultrastructural alterations of raillietina echinobothrida and ascaridia galli induced by a compound isolated from acacia oxyphylla. | the stem bark of acacia oxyphylla graham ex bentham is used as an anthelmintic by the natives of mizoram (north-east india). therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the effect of the active compound isolated from a. oxyphylla on the tegument of adult raillietina echinobothrida and ascaridia galli. the test parasites r. echinobothrida and a. galli were incubated in physiological buffered saline containing 0.0005, 0.001, 0.05, 0.1 and 1mg/ml of the isolated compound. the alterations in the t ... | 2011 | 22265802 |
