Abstract

Citrus limon fruit empty juice sacs was investigated for its anthelmintic activity. Petroleum Ether, chloroform, and alcoholic extract of Citrus limon juice sacs were evaluated separately for anthelmintic activity on adult Indian earthworms, Pheretima posthuma (Annelida) . Various concentrations of all extracts were tested and results were expressed in terms of time for paralysis and time for death of worms. Piperazine citrate (10 mg/ml) was used as a reference standard and distilled water as a control group.
