Abstract
The crude extracts of Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile (Balanitaceae) was evaluated for anthelmintic activity using adult earthworms; the bark extract exhibited a dosedependent inhibition of spontaneous motility (paralysis). The result shows that the aqueous extract possesses wormicidal activity and thus, may be useful as an anthelmintic.
