OVICIDAL AND LARVICIDAL PROPERTIES OF ADHATODA VASICA (L.) EXTRACTS AGAINST GASTROINTESTINAL NEMATODES OF SHEEP IN VITRO
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the anthelmintic activity of Adhatoda vasica (Acanthaceae) in vitro against the gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep. The aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Adhatoda vasica aerial parts were evaluated by egg hatching and larval development assays. The a...
