“…Gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep and goats are high during monsoon seasons in most of the agroclimatic zones (Meenakshisundaram, 1999;Jeyathilakan et al, 2003;Arunachalam, 2008;Hussain et al, 2011).…”

“…Peracute haemonchosis is uncommon but it may be seen when susceptible animals are exposed to a sudden massive infection (Mohammed et al, 2013). The extremely large number of parasites causes a rapidly developing anaemia, dark coloured faeces and sudden death from acute blood loss due to severe haemorrhagic gastritis (Soulsby, 2006;Hussain et al, 2011).…”

Haemonchosis is one of the common helminthic diseases of ruminants which causes high mortality. Course of infection depends on the worm burden, age and nutrition of the host. The principal feature of Haemonchus species infection is anaemia. Anthelmintics with different modes of action are the necessity of the hour, which has changed the focus to other sources like plants. Screening of medicinal plants for their anthelmintic activity has become great scientific interest. Ethnopharmacological surveys provide the rationale for selection and scientific investigation of medicinal plants. Herbal drugs are extensively used as anthelmintics in the developed world before the era of broad spectrum drugs. Many currently available therapeutic compounds are plant derived or synthetic analogues derived from those compounds. Plants of the genus Artemisia were used against the nematodes Ascaris suum and Toxocara spp. as well as cestodes of poultry. From time immemorial, plant derivatives like Nicotiana tabaccum have been used against Moneizia, Ascaridia and several species of GI nematodes including Cooperia, Haemonchus, Nematodirus and Trichostrongylus. Arecoline and several other alkaloids from the dried ripe seeds of Areca catechu were found to be active against tapeworms in dogs and poultry. Aristolochia species of plant are traditionally used for neatodiasis in India. In this review an effort is made to compile the available reports and studies about the anthelmintic activity and use of different plants especially of Aristolochia with special reference to Haemonchosis.

“…Therefore, it is important to study the alternative strategies against gastrointestinal nematodes. In addition, allopathic drugs are likely to posses' side effects, toxicity, increased cost [7] and non-adaptability, which have increased the need to evaluate the natural products that can replace current strategies to control GI nematodes [8] . Despite of tremendous advancement in human medicine, infectious diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, and parasites have been major threat to public health.…”

Hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of whole plant of Boerhavia diffusa were screened for phytochemical and biological activities. Qualitative phytochemical screening via colorimetric method and the quantitative estimation of phenolic and flavonoid content were performed. Antioxidant assay using DPPH scavenging method was studied. Antimicrobial screening of plant extracts was done by cup diffusion technique. Cytotoxic activity of B. diffusa was studied by brine shrimp bioassay and anthelminthic activity was evaluated in vitro in Pheretima posthuma. This study revealed B. diffusa as a source of various phyto-constituents such as alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, tannins, carbohydrates, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids and terpenoids. Quantitative estimation of total phenol was found to be maximum in BEE i.e. 29.73±0.88, BME 19.8±2.02 and in BHE 9.15±0.304 mgGAE/g. Similarly, the total flavonoid content was found to be 17.44±0.75 in BEE, 14.43±0.23 in BHE and 3.678 mg QE/g in BME. Ethyl acetate extract showed its antibacterial activity against all tested pathogens except Escherichia coli whereas Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhi were resistant to methanol and hexane extract. The zone of inhibition (ZOI) of ethyl acetate extract against S. Typhi and B. cereus was found to be 18 mm and 14 mm respectively. The MIC value of BEE in S. Typhi was 3.125 µg/ml and in B. cereus was 12.5 µg/ml. The preliminary screening of anticancer property of B. diffusa i.e. BSLT in methanol was found to be 165.19 µg/ml. B. diffusa was also found to contain anthelmintic property. The study helped in further exploration of medicinal properties of B. diffusa by phytochemical screening and biological activities paving the path for study and investigation in this plant.

“…Durante a fase experimental, colheram-se semanalmente amostras de sangue para realização de hemogramas (BIRGEL; BENESI, 1982) (Apêndice F). inflorescências, e já descritos na literatura por outros autores (BATATINHA et al, 2004;HUSSAIN et al, 2010;OLIVEIRA et al, 2010;GREGORY, 2011;HUSSAIN et al, 2011;NOGUEIRA et al, 2012;MARIE-MAGDALENE et al, 2014). Uma vez que os engaços foram eficazes in vitro, e considerando as informações sobre a dinâmica de manejo da cultura da banana, obtidas em contatos prévios com produtores rurais, os engaços foram escolhidos, dentre os demais resíduos vegetais produzidos pela bananicultura.…”
