ABSTRACT
Helminthic infections are often attributed to poor management practices and inadequate control strategies.
Medicinal plants, rich in diverse phytoconstituents, possess anthelmintic properties that contribute to their
effectiveness against these parasites. Aqueous extract of leaves of the plant Jatropha multifida (L.) belonging to the
family Euphorbiaceae were selected for screening it’s anthelminthic activity by means of in-vitro method on
Eisenia fetida belongs to Lumbricidae family. During the process of evaluation, it is found out that the aqueous
extract possesses a significant dose dependent anthelminthic activity which was comparable with the standard drug
albendazole on different concentrations (100,150,200,250 mg/ml). The maximum anthelminthic activity observed
with 250 mg/ml of the plant extract.
