THE EFFECT OF CARICA PAPAYA L. (CARICACEAE) AND MUSA PARADISIACA LINN. (MUSACEAE) ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF GASTROINTESTINAL NEMATODE EGGS FROM OVINE

ABSTRACT

The present work evaluates the in vitro action of the aquous extract and the oil from mature seeds of Caricapapaya and ethanolic extract and pure latex from Musa paradisiaca on the development of gastrointestinal nematode eggs of ovine. The tests were made incubating 200 µL of the extracts and an equal volume of the eggs suspension, with analyses made at 48 and 72h. The results showed a low anthelmintic activity of the tested products.
