In vitro study evaluates larvicidal effects of plant extracts on gastrointestinal nematodes, suggesting sustainable alternatives for management.

Key Points

This research aims to assess the larvicidal effects of various plant extracts on ovine gastrointestinal nematodes. The goal is to identify effective natural alternatives to synthetic anthelmintics.
Evaluated aqueous extracts from 24 plant species at 500 or 750 μL/mL.
Assessed larval mortality of third-stage larvae after exposure at 12, 24, and 48 hours.
Used principal component analysis to classify the extracts by efficacy.
Five extracts demonstrated ≥90% larval mortality at the higher dose after 48 hours.
Ageratum conyzoides and Abutilon theophrasti caused over 85% larval mortality within 12 hours.
High-efficacy species were distinct from moderate and low-efficacy species in principal component analysis.
