The use of plants as natural anthelmintic is quite promising for parasite control. In this report, we evaluate the activity of Etlingera elatior to Fasciola gigantica eggs in vitro. The eggs were collected from naturally-infected bovine in the Ampel Abbatoir, Boyolali, Central Java. The eggs were exposed to E. elatior ethanolic extract in different concentrations i.e., 5%, 2.5% and 1.25%. Fluconix 340 in the equal concentrations was positive control of anthelmintic and distilled water served as negative treatment. The eggs were placed in the dark until 9 days and observed under the light microscope on days 5 and 9. The results showed that E. elatior in the concentration of 5%, 2.5% and 1.25% significantly inhibited the initial development of F. gigantica compared to the negative control (water) on days 5 and 9 treatments (P<0.05). The E. elatior effectively inhibits morulation and larva formation. Fluconix 340 5%, 2.5% and 1.25% were possessing higher ovicidal activities compared to E. elatior since day 5 of treatment. E. elatior showed effective inhibition to the initial development of F. gigantica egg in vitro.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
