Abstract

This study involved effect of alcoholic extract of Cardaria draba (L.) Desv.
Plant on Hymenolepis nana at dose (50,100,250) mg/ml respectively and
acomparison between effect of the extract and mebendazole drug in all
experiments. The results of these experiments were indicated that the out put
rates of the egg of H. nana in the Faeces were effected the efficacy of extracts
and drug treatments were varied in the daily counts through the experiments and
it appeared that they were proportional increasing with the increasing of the dose
they are (91.5%, 86.7%, 86.2%) on days (8, 9, 10) at (250) mg / kg dose for the
Fresh plant and (89.7%,87.7%,83.9%) for the drug part respectively. The
mebendazole drug appeared the effect ivness comparing with the extract
efficiency was (100%) in the fifth day at (250) mg / kg. After the oral
administrating the maxture off egg and plant extracts for the mice, the effect of
extracts was evident on the growth and the development of the eggs. The
number of eggs increased according to the dose raising the patient period were
delayed about of the 4 days by using (250) mg / kg of the extracts. Further more,
the number of eggs were decreased at the same doses of the fresh and dry
extracts, when the count were (110, 100) eggs/gram of faeces respectively, in
comparing with control group the effect of mebendazole drug was more than
that of the extracts in that patient periods was delayed for (8) days in the
concentration of (250) mg/kg the output of the eggs was decreased to low levels
comparing with extracts and control group.
