The efficiency of J.curcas latex extract as potential antiparasite was tested against L3 H.contortus. In vitro anthelmintic activity of J.curcas was observed based on its ability to inhibit L3 H.contortus larval motility. Table## showed the larval inhibition (%) of J. curcas latex extract at various concentration against L3 H.contortus. To assess the anthelmintic performance of the plant‚ L3 H.contortus was exposed with the latex extract at concentration of 5mg/ml‚ 10mg/ml‚ 15mg/ml‚ 20mg/ml and 25mg/ml

Eliminating River Blindness in Ecuador You notice a figure sitting on a porch in the North-Western region of Ecuador. As you approach it appears to be an elderly man but as you approach him you notice that he has features that you have never seen before. His skin looks as if it has been draped onto his skeletal frame causing him to lose all age indicators. Your eyes reach his and he does not make eye contact‚ a clear indication that he is blind. You approach the lizard man and ask his age‚ he

UTILIZATION OF MARIGOLD EXTRACT (Tagestes erecta L.) AND CIGARETTE BUTTS AS HOUSEHOLD INSECTICIDE INTRODUCTION Most insecticides effective for household use are inorganic which tend to be harmful to the user and to the environment. Recent statistics show that 75% of households use some form of insecticide‚ with much of this being used indoors. They are used to kill ants and roaches‚ mosquitoes‚ flea and tick. By design these products are all intended to be lethal – to insects that

burden depends on the regional ecological conditions and also on the local standards of the people (Ukpai et al.‚ 2003). Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) are group of parasitic nematode worms that afflict humans through the ingestion of infective eggs or contact with larvae (Nava and Brown‚ 1994; Nokes and Bundy‚ 1994). Nematodes have a widespread prevalence and distribution that result in hundreds of millions of human infections (Hotez et al.‚ 2003). 1.1. Biology of STHs and transmission The life
