Abstract

Gastro intestinal parasites are developing resistance to various commercial anthelminthics. Hence, the need to explore the efficacies of herbal plants against gastro-intestinal parasites. The study was therefore conducted to determine the efficacy of aqueous extract of Vernonia amygdalina leaf against strongyles and coccidia spp. in sheep.A total of 60 sheep were used for the study. The animals were randomly assigned to one of the four groups. Those in group A, B, C and D were given albendazole (ABZ), 10% aqueous V. amygdalina extract (BL10), 20% aqueous V. amygdalina extract (BL20) and 10ml distilled water (Dw) respectively. All four treatments were given orally, depending on the body weight of the animals, with the exception of the distilled water which was constant (10ml) for each animal. Fecal samples were collected from each sheep and examined using McMaster technique. The data were analyzed using R version 4.2. The study brought to light that the prevalence of strongyles in sheep was 70% in the study area at pre-treatment. BL10 had efficacies of 52.58% and 65.08% against strongyles and coccidia spp. respectively. BL20 produced similar anthelmintic effect against strongyles as albendazole. Strongyle spp. showed resistance against albendazole in the study area.

扁桃叶水提物对绵羊圆线虫和球虫感染的防治作用

胃肠道寄生虫正在对各种商业驱虫药产生耐药性。因此，有必要探索草药植物对抗胃肠道寄生虫的功效。因此，进行了本研究，以确定Veronia amygalina叶的水提取物对绵羊的strongyles和coccidia spp.的效力。研究共使用了60只绵羊。这些动物被随机分配到四组中的一组。A、B、C和D组分别给予阿苯达唑（ABZ）、10%苦杏仁苷水提物（BL10）、20%苦杏仁苷提取物（BL20）和10ml蒸馏水（Dw）。根据动物的体重，除了每只动物恒定的蒸馏水（10ml）外，所有四种治疗都是口服的。从每只羊身上采集粪便样本，并使用麦克马斯特技术进行检查。使用R版本4.2对数据进行分析。这项研究表明，在预处理时，研究地区绵羊的强壮型患病率为70%。BL10对大肠杆菌和球虫的有效率分别为52.58%和65.08%。BL20具有与阿苯达唑相似的杀线虫效果。Strongyle spp.在研究区域表现出对阿苯达唑的抗性。
