was the paralytic effect and the shorter was the death time
for all the earthworms. The data given in the observation
Table 1 showed that MEHI gave shorter paralysis and death
time at 100 mg/mL as compared to AEHI. Mean依SEM values
were calculated for the both extract and standard. MEHI
showed anthelmintic activity in a dose-dependent manner
taking shortest time for paralysis (16.26依0.23) and death (32.49 依0.35) at 100 mg/mL concentration. Also in case of AEHI the
dose of 100 mg/mL showed shortest time of paralysis (25.01 依0.54) and death (40.34依0.64). Time of paralysis and death
increased with concentration of 25 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL as
compared with that of standard drug mebendazole. All the
investigational extract showed the anthelmintic activity
starting from a minimum dose of 25 mg/mL, its significant
activity (P
