Preliminary screening of antiprotozoal activity of extracts from Cotula cinerea L.
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.
