“…Plants with secondary metabolites display important anthelmintic activity against gastrointestinal nematodes, including H. contortus [ 8 ]. Also, various plants have been used in the treatment of anxiety and depression [ 9 ], inflammation [ 10 ], cancer [ 9 , 11 – 13 ], fibromyalgia disorders [ 14 ], immunomodulatory control [ 15 ], as antioxidants [ 16 ] and as pain modulators [ 17 ] among others. Flavonoids, as the major compounds of some plants, play a role in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease [ 18 ].…”

Purpose We analysed the possible synergistic activity among active extracts from Artemisia cina and Tagetes lucida combinations on Haemonchus contortus, a nematode parasitising sheep. Methods The work was carried out in vitro on eggs and infective larvae (L3) of H. contortus. The results were analysed with SAS 9.1, applying the ANOVA and Tukey test, and the lethal concentration (LC) values LC50 and LC90 were determined with regression analysis, employing Proc Probit of SAS 9.1. Additionally, the lethal concentration (LC) was calculated with LC50 and LC90 to determine the synergistic effect. Results The results demonstrated a high efficacy of the two plants studied on both nematode eggs and L3 larvae as well as of their combinations. The highest egg hatching inhibition was obtained with a 50/50 combination, and the best larvae mortality was obtained with 25% A. cina and 75% T. lucida at 10 mg/mL. Additionally, this combination showed a synergistic effect. Conclusion The two plant species studied here can be applied as natural anthelmintic alternatives due to their high bioactive effect and synergistic response.
