In vitro treatment of root-tuber-peel extract of Flemingia vestita against helminth parasites showed structural alteration in their tegumental architecture and the vermifugal activity of this plant extract was suggested.
Helminth parasitism of domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus L.) in a subtropical high-rainfall area of India.
An investigation into the helminth parasitic infections of domestic fowl in a subtropical area of India, based on an autopsy of 532 chickens, revealed a 90.9% prevalence of infection and Capillaria contorta was recorded for the first time from fowls in India.

The species of liver flukes of the genus Fasciola (Platyhelminthes: Digenea: Fasciolidae) are obligate parasitic trematodes residing in the large biliary ducts of herbivorous mammals. While Fasciola…
Effect of root-tuber extract of Flemingia vestita, a leguminous plant, on Artyfechinostomum sufrartyfex and Fasciolopsis buski: a scanning electron microscopy study
The tegumental surface of Artyfechinostomum sufrartyfex as viewed under the scanning electron microscope revealed the presence of double rows of spines in the collar and sloughing off of most of the spines or their deformation as well as wrinkles and rupture of the general teguments.
