Larval mortalities were recorded within 30 minutes of contact with the plant extracts. Leaf extracts of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% concentrations caused 61%, 80% 91% and 92% mortalities while the same concentrations o fruit extracts caused 38%, 47%, 72% and 83% mortalties respectively. A combination of leaf and fruit extracts exerted synergistic effects and caused higher mortality rates of 67%, 84%, 91% and 95% mortalties at the same concentrations and time. The results also showed that the larvicidal effects of the leaf, fruit and synergy extracts increased wth increase in concentration. Significant result was observed for the synergy with 20% extract causing 95% mortality. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that there was no significant difference (P>0.05) among the leaf, fruit and synergy extracts. Preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloid (2.0%), cyanide (0.30%), flavonoid (15.5%), phytate (0.02%), saponin (2.0%) and tannin (0.05%) in the leaf and 0.01%, 0.2%, 13.2%0.01%, 1% 0.03% respectivelyinthe fruit Keywords: Larvicidal, Effects, Physalis angulata , Anopheles, Synergy, Ebonyi State","PeriodicalId":7872,"journal":{"name":"Animal Research International","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77675122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Altogether 1458 rats (565 % males and 43.5 % females) were trapped and examined for helminths. A total of 1098 rats (55.7 % males and 44.3% females) harboured helminth parasites thus providing and overall prevalence o 75.3% and a mean worn burden of 1.3. The between-sex difference was statistically signiicant (x 2 =2.64, P Aspicularis tetrapera (17.5%), Syphacia muris 17.0 %), Angiostrongyus cantonensis 16.9%), Strongyloides ratti (16.0%) and Capiaria hepatca (12.8%). Also recovered from their rat hosts were the following six cestode species; Hymenolepis dimnua (22.7%), Taenia taeniaeformis (17.4%), T. muris (171%), T. hydatigera (166%) , H. nana (164%) and Raillietina muris (9.8%). Trematodes(n=9) belonging to 3 species, Plagiochis muris, Platynosomoides muris and Corrigia muris were also recovered from five infected rats. A total of 103 rat hoss harboured single infections of nematodes, 818 (98.9%) had combined nematode/cestode infections, 5 (6.0%) haboured a combination of nematode/trematode whereas 4 (0.5%) showed concurrent cestode/trematode infections. The influence of seasonal fluctuations on the parasite-host relationship, le cycle patterns of the parasites and immunological potentials of the rat hosts are discussed.

This study surveyed the prevalence of the three major zoonotic helminths ( Capillaria hepatica, Hymenolepis spp and Trichinella spiralis ) in house rats in Nsukka, Eastern Ngeria. A total of 103 house rats were trapped and screened for the three zoonotic helminths. Whole liver of each R. rattus was sectioned into smallbits and examined for the presence of C. hepatica nodules/granuloma, while faecal samples collected from the rectum othe trapped rats were screened for worm eggs by the simple floatation technique, and diaphragmatic muscle sections were examined microscopically for the presence of T. spiralis larvae. Results showed that out of the 103 rats screened, 5.8% were infected with C. hepatca, 19.5% with Hymenolepis spp, and none (0%) with T. spiralis . The prevaence of C. hepatca in reaton to sex and age of the rats was found to be 29% for maes 7.4% for females, 0% for young rats and7.8% for adult rats, while that o Hymenolepis spp in relation to sex and age of R. rattus was 20%or males, 16.2% for females, 0% for young rats and 23.4% for adults. The prevalence obtanedin this study was compared with those reported in literature for other locations The occurrence of C.hepatica and Hymenolepis spp in R. rattus surveyed was considered to be of immense public healthsignificance because of the detrimental pathologies the helminths cause in humans who easily get infected as the rats cohabit the homes/houses where humans live.
