title: Efficacy of aqueous and butanolic fractions of Albizzia anthelmintica against experimental Hymenolepis diminuta infestation in rats.
abstract: The oral administration of the aqueous fraction of Albizzia anthelmintica bark extract in a concentration range of 50-150 g/kg body weight was safe and infestation with Hymenolepis diminuta was completely eliminated. The butanolic fraction of A anthelmintica bark extract given by stomach tube in concentrations ranging from 25-150 g/kg was highly toxic to rats and was inactive against H diminuta.
