چکیده

The effect in alcoholic extract of Bark of Albizzia lebbeck was studied for antifilarial activity using Setaria cervi (S. cervi) worm procured from the freshly slaughtered buffalo.We used the whole worm (w.w.) preparation and nerve muscle (n.m.) complex of Setaria cervi (S. cervi). The n.m. complex is made by stripping the cuticle of the worm. The effect was stimulant in nature in both the preparations but the dose required to produce the effect was less in case of n.m preparation as compared to w.w. Microfilariae was used to determine the lethal concentration 50 (LC50) and lethal concentration 90 (LC90) which was 65ng/ml and 80ng/ml respectively.
