Abstract: Phytotherapy may be an alternative strategy for controlling gastrointestinal parasites. This study evaluated the anthelmintic efficacy of Eucalyptus citriodora essential oil (EcEO). The in vitro effects of EcEO were determined through testing the inhibition of egg hatching and larval development of Haemonchus contortus. EcEO was subjected to acute toxicity testing on mice, orally and intraperitoneally. The in vivo effects of EcEO were determined by the fecal egg count reduction test (FECRT)

“…The most potent oil tested in LDT was T. minuta, which exhibited superior efficacy to other oils tested previously with an EC50 of 1.67 mg mL -1 . The essential oil of Eucalyptus citriodora had an EC50 of 2.71 mg mL -1 (MACEDO et al, 2011). The EC50 of Lippia sidoides essential oil was 2.97 mg mL -1 (CAMURÇA-VASCONCELOS et al, 2007).…”

“…For their hydrophobic character, the 56 essential oils and their components have a considerable potential of 57 pharmacological applications as antimicrobial agents [7,8]. The role of 58 essential oils against parasitic helminths has been studied by several au-59 thors [9][10][11][12]. However, there are few publications about the effect of 60 these substances on E. granulosus.…”

“…Nesse contexto, novas alternativas para o controle de nematoides estão sendo estudadas com resultados satisfatórios na obtenção de percentuais de redução efetivos nos casos de inibição in vitro da eclosão dos ovos (FARIAS et al, 2010;MACEDO et al, 2011;FUJIMOTO et al, 2012). Entre essas alternativas, a utilização de fungos se tornou promissora, em razão de sua capacidade de capturar, fixar e penetrar os nematoides, destruindo seus órgãos internos (ALVES et al, 2003;ARAÚJO et al, 2004;ARAÚJO et al, 2006;ARAÚJO et al, 2007).…”
