ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the comparative anthelmintic activity of hydroalcoholic extract of ERE and ZRE. Two
concentrations (100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o) of both extracts were tested. The Mean worm counts (± SEM) in rats infected with Nippostrongylus
brasiliensis were studied and treated with various doses of Embelia ribes and Ziziphus xylopyrus.The Hydroalcoholic extract of ERE and ZRE exhibited significant anthelmintic activity as evidenced by decreased warm count. The results thus support the use of Embelia ribes and Ziziphus xylopyrus as an anthelmintic agent.
Keywords: Anthelmintic activity, Hydroalcoholic, Embelia ribes, Ziziphus xylopyrus.
