Overview

In vitro assessment shows cucumis melo seeds impact egg hatching and larval migration in haemonchus contortus, suggesting a viable alternative to traditional drugs.

Key Points

  • The ethanolic extract of cucumis melo seeds demonstrated significant activity against haemonchus contortus.
  • Adult females showed 100% mortality at 0.5 mg/mL after 24 hours, indicating effective anthelminthic properties.
  • The extract's impact on larval migration was comparable to levamisole, with IC50 values of 1.71 mg/mL for the extract.
  • Qualitative analysis confirmed the presence of several phytochemical compounds in the extract, supporting its anthelminthic potential.
