([dagger][dagger]) Avermectins are a group of related macrocyclic lactone derivative drugs with potent
anthelminthic activity.
Direct
anthelminthic effects of condensed tannins towards different gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep: in vitro and in vivo studies.
Management of
anthelminthic resistance: inheritance of resistance and selection with persistent drugs.
These compounds possess several types of biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibiotic, and
anthelminthic activities [6-8].
Ziziphus Spina-christi, Eimeria papillata, jejunum,
anthelminthic activity.
(8) Praziquantel is an
anthelminthic with a largely unknown mechanism of action but is thought to act by increasing calcium ion transport into the parasite, inducing vacuolization of its integument and subsequent phagocytosis.
Its seeds have many therapeutic effects, including antimicrobial, anticoccidial and
anthelminthic activities, most of which are due to the presence of thymoquinone, which is the major bioactive component.
The findings of this study support the design of the
anthelminthic programme, which excludes children <5 years of age from treatment; according to the Deworm the World Initiative, the implementation of the deworming programme should be school based.
