title: Preliminary screening of antiprotozoal activity of extracts from Cotula cinerea L.
abstract: Ethyl ether, ethyl acetate and n.butanol extracts of Cotula cinerea L. were tested for their antiprotozoal activity against two species of Trichomonas: Trichomonas intestinalis and Trichomonas vaginalis. It has been found that the growth of both Trichomonas was significantly inhibited.
