Research Journal of Phytochemistry1819-34712151-6081Science International10.3923/rjphyto.2014.57.63RajeswariV. Devi3201483Medicinal plants were the potent source of many pharmacological activities.
Among that the plants of anthelmintic action has attained a great interest due
the capability of the plant and its compound to treat a disease that causes
major economic loss and reduced livestock production to the livestock holders.
The pathogenic infection causes the severe effect of mortality and other problems
that were uncontrolled due to the anthelmintic resistance that is developed
in the host organism. Even though, many synthetic drugs were manufactured; they
produce more side effect than that of the treatment efficacy. Hence, the need
for the exploration of the plants for the treatment has attained a great interest
and this review gives the list of few medicinal plants that were capable of
reducing the helmintic infection.]]>Jabbar, A., M.A. Zaman, Z. Iqbal, M. Yaseen and A.
