Abstract

Different extracts of E.alba were taken for anthelmintic activity against Indian earthworm Pheretima posthuma. Two concentrations (100 and 150 mg/ml) of various extracts were tested and results were expressed in terms of time for paralysis and time for death of worms. Albendazole (20 mg/ml) was used as reference standard. Dose dependent activity was observed in the plant extracts but ethanolic extract exhibited more activity as compared to others.
