Abstract: Sixty plant species were collected in the Ivory Coast on the basis of an ethnobotanical literature using the following three criteria: activity against worms, diarrhoea and/or abdominal pain. Eighty six plant extracts were prepared using 90% ethanol and tested for potential anthelminthic activities with a larvicidal test of Haemonchus contortus. 25.6% of the extracts showed a high activity, 12.8% were active or marginally active and the remaining 61.6% were inactive.

“…Parasitic nematodes are a major threat to livestock production worldwide leading to huge economic losses (ADEMOLA; ELLOF, 2010), because of the support treatments and increased manpower that the infected animals require and because of the high mortality rate within flocks, especially in small ruminants (DIEHL et al, 2004). Anthelmintics have been used to minimize the losses caused by helminth infections.…”
