In Vitro Evaluation of Anthelmintic Activity of Rhus mysorensis Leaves

The present study has been designed to elucidate the Anthelmintic activity of leaves of Rhus mysorensis using experimental models. Helminthic infections are among the most common infections in the human beings. The anthelmintic activity was carried out on adult Indian earthworm (Pheretima posthuma). All the extracts of leaves of Rhus mysorensis demonstrated a significant anthelmintic activity in causing paralysis and death of earth worms when compared to reference standard and normal saline as control.
