Anthelmintic activity of Moringa oleifera seed aqueous and ethanolic extracts against Haemonchus contortus eggs and third stage larvae
Haemonchus contortus is one of the prevalent and pathogenic ruminant parasites that has grown resistance to common anthelmintic treatment. This study evaluated the anthelmintic potential of Moringa oleifera seed ethanolic and aqueous extracts against H. contortus eggs and infective stage larvae (L3s...

In the larvicidal assay, the ethanolic and aqueous extracts exhibited 56.94% and 92.50% efficacy at 7.8 mg/mL, respectively. The larvicidal activity of 7.8 mg/mL aqueous extract was similar statistically with that of ivermectin (p > 0.05). The LC50 against L3s was recorded at 6.96 and 4.12 mg/mL for ethanolic and aqueous extracts, respectively. The secondary metabolites detected were tannins in ethanolic extract and saponins in aqueous extract. Both extracts inhibited larvae formation inside the eggs and rendered the L3s immobile.
