20 February 2014 The in vitro adulticidal effect of aqueous and methanolic extracts of Capparis decidua stems, Moringa oleifera leaves and albendazole was investigated against Fasciola gigantica worms. Three different concentrations of the plant extracts 1200, 600, 300 μg/ml and 1%, 0.5%, 0.25% of albendazole were used. Albendazole drug exhibited highest mortality (P null null 0.05) fasciolicide activity against adult worms at the concentrations used in this study compared with albendazole and the negative control. These results demonstrate that C. decidua stems may have anthelmintic activity especially at higher doses.  2012 Sudan University of Science and Technology. All rights reserved
